If balkanization happens it's because we live in the chaos timeline, not because things are rational and make sense

So far, we have only thought about coalitions built upon state lines. If there is real balkanization happening, then there will be a chance for certain counties, and other particular parts of states to break away. For instance, I can imagine most of Florida becoming independent, but the panhandle joining the confederacy. Does anyone else have any good examples of fractures that might occur within state boundaries?

Here's to the new us.
Name game is picking up. Acadia and Chesapeake are both solid post-apocalyptic nation names. Midwest Pact and Great Plains etc etc Pact are obviously ripping off WESTERN STATES PACT and weaker than it, but we're still moving in the right direction. Strongly encourage that we use Council States to refer CRAC, its a great name for a nation that draps itself in the decaying remnants of the old world, clinging to a obsolete democracy.

The independent five boroughs of New York will join with neighboring city-states of the Hudson River delta much like the Aztec Triple Alliance arising from Lake Texcoco to conquer and dominate the surrounding regions, whose fit and able subjects will be periodically sentenced to ritual death in the name of Dowjones, God of Wealth, from the great glass pyramids

idk its been p. clear for most of a decade now that the intersection of late stage capitalism, environmental degradation and climate change is a place thats wildly hostile to the continued existence of the united states of america as its currently configured. maybe we transition seamlessly into fascism by the 2040s, but otherwise decades of sectarian violence at a minimum seems more likely than not.

I feel like if he just made being gay illegal, outlawed abortions, and everyone got to keep their guns - a lot of the chuds would be fine with it. There might be a pushback from the Russians who live here. They are all old believers and while they would be fine with the previous conditions, having the mainstream orthodox church running the show would probably be a dealbreaker for them.

Yeah, I don't see actual balkanization anytime soon (if ever), but these state coalitions are going to be great rough drafts for people who are interested in this sort of break-up.
