@@alecedgerly1277 seriously I was surprised when they managed to take over the Southeast. They're one of the poorest states in the southeast, and that's an achievement. I'm assuming the game doesn't mirror real world military base/force locations though, because I was really surprised when Georgia gotten eaten in like two seconds. They've got multiple major military bases, the largest national guard force in the region, one of the busiest ports, busiest airport in the world.... They don't call it the empire state of the South for no reason.
I'm guessing the Oklahoma panhandle in this universe is a grand impenetrable bastion that covers the whole area and is specifically used to safely bridge armed forces through.
Iowa would never give up that easily against a blue state, even if the college kids martyred themselves in protest of the war. Iowa would have blown all the bridges over the mississippi river, seriously harming the flow of things cross country. Missouri would be a greater threat, strategically speaking, but those people have little willpower...look at how much power their state has over it's people. I am surprised Colorado didn't hang on until the very end...those mountains make it as undesirable as Tibet.(why China doesn't free them, I will never understand, Richard Gere sympathizer here!)
If you've been to the locations where majority of the square borders are you would understand. It's literally a stretch of flat land that is larger than almost every European country by 100s of square miles then split into like 4 to 5 square like state. In fact quite interestingly during the colonization of the central United States, European immigrants would suffer something called prairie madness. These immigrants came from usually mountainous to at least hilly regions and had never seen such vast flat lands. And I can personally confirm this cuz growing up in the Eastern United States mountains and then go into the Midwest it's creepily flat😂
How the hell the "Socialist Republic of Oregon" representing the Portland and Salem metro areas (1/3 of the population) beats out 2/3 of the rest of the state which owns AND USES over 75% of the guns on a regular basis is beyond me. Perhaps they loaded potato guns with adult toys.....or killed us with podcasts and slam poetry.
it makes sense, large population on coasts, mountainous and surrounded by smaller neighbors. New York is also strategically pretty close to a lot of these capitals.
Yeah not how it'd go down. New Yorkers are selfish and petty. Terrible military material. They got a lot of people, but not what you'd call "effective" people. Every new yorker I served with was an abrasive nightmare.

I respectful disagree. Integrate the gangs and turn different crews onto military branches. Seize the Naval ports, use diplomacy and surplus goods to obtain foreign aid. Several landmark buildings (Empire State, Chrysler Building) can be converted into armed and armoredfortification, plenty of old money families that can do espionage by manipulating other state's leaders with secrets...
NY with one of the most strictest gun laws in the country this would have to be more of a military intervention in favor of the state of New York. If this was a civilian war with no military intervention the southern states would put all the blue dem states with strict gun laws on their knees.
I think they really only won because Louisiana was busy fighting some random "state" in northern Canada. If they had taken down Texas while they were fighting the "Banana Republic" (lol) New York would not have stood a chance. But honestly this is all just a game, so fair enough :)
Dang Texas last a LOT longer than I thought it would. Usually it dies within the first 2 seconds in these state battles. But I guess having Mexico really helped it.
@@alexarr1959California nor New York shouldn't have stood a chance. Texas has way more guns. I'm more surprised by Louisiana taking over so much before losing to Texas. I would have expected Florida to do that.
It's cause we got dem gators. Also we rival y'all already while we're always relaxing and letting the good times roll. Imagine if we tried to hussle as a whole state. Imagine we stop calling it the big easy in contrast with the big apple, and take a big ol' gator bit out of life. 😂
Of course Ohio conquered Michigan. How is Louisiana still around? Texas: welcome back Mexico. Mexico: but you left us. Texas: I know. Louisiana: fumbles game in the last quarter. New York FTW.
No way could Ohio take out Michigan that quickly. The UP alone is not even approachable from the South. They would be forced to go through Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ilinois. Nonsense map.

It’s pretty cool that Little Dixie is a thing, as a Missourian our history is very interesting. I wonder why other states don’t have sections like that though, there is definitely areas with more of a independent movement than Little Dixie
