This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm saving this for when the civil war is about to break out and I need a rough estimate of where the front lines will be.

If there's a civil war, Michigan will quickly be appropriated to Canada.

If it were all purely based on this map, all states in grey and brown could join canada and still be a country with a single (ok very long and hard to defend) border to the remaining US states.

Also factor
Military, national & state guard, and LE bases project a zone of control
100 miles from any border is a zone of control
