Okay, their Navy, and Air Force units would be key to their survival
plus
a lot of diplomacy.  And something to trade...	Pineapples?  LOL!

Hmm, where is the divide in California?

Okay.

All right.

A natural.

Could be.

>7. Southern First People's Federation -- Most of

Maybe.

>8. Lone Star Republic - All of Texas, parts of
>Oklahoma & Arkansas

I'll accept that.

>9.  Republic of Upper Canada -- Most of Saskatchewan &

Got me, so okay.

>10. Quebec

The Albania of North America... even if my wife is a Quebec City girl by
birth.

Okay, this needs some dividing up in my mind.  Too diverse and too many
states with large populations/industry IMO.

Put Kentucky and Tennessee together with say West Virginia. 

Have to give this some more thought...

Good point.

Panhandle thing corrected already.  Other wise okay.

Okay, that was something I had not considered.

Dern good start.

How about Mexico and Central America?  They are on the continent (said
the ex-Cartographer...)

Hx, SF, and Fx: 6 mm figures, Starships and 1:6K "Wet Navy" warships
are my main interest.

Gracias,
Glenn
