We have had a name for it for awhile, my fellow Washingtonians call the Washington/Oregon/California union 'Cascadia'. Wouldn't be such a bad idea.
If you donβt take AZ and NV with you, you will get your Colorado River water cut off and lose a lot of farming power. That might even require UT. Unless itβs only Northern California included, in which case you still lose that agriculture, and possible land based trade lines to Mexico. Itβs not a clean and pretty separation.
Fuck yeah! Cascadia! Let us stop funding this awful government and actually put our taxes towards improving people's lives
Absolutely, and I'm about ready to start identifying as that over American π« .
I usually think of BC being part of it, too, cause we're so similar culturally, and we hang out on each other's side of the made up invisible line all the time.
One can dream!
It would have a hell of a lot of economic power, and natural resources.
Sounds like the kind of place the US would invade
