I live in Kansas City. I would love this outcome. We'd be that Tijuana of Canada.

Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Uh, shouldn't California have fallen into the ocean? It's at fault... or something
Who gets Hawaii?
Hawaiians
Sounds good!
Ghost of the royal family
Cede the entire area to a new "national park" a park the size of the Old United States.
Else, combine Baja and California to California Grande.
California Grande.
We need this.
except NO humans allowed at all
Why not Canexico? Or Mexida?
I'd settle for Earthanadexico
I like how the Carolinas are Canadian. It's like the map maker knew they're too racist to even try giving to Mexico.
They're going to have a great time with the deep south and the sun belt, though. We got the better end of this deal, even if the level of new population means we basically are going to be America again.
Wait, Why is Maryland White? Somebody take Maryland damnit!
Either way I get affordable healthcare, then it's either tacos or poutine, and I'm NGL I could go either way on that.
While I would honestly prefer this to our current situation, I vote we Europeanize things instead. Single continent North American Union, but instead of 3 meganations, we instead go fully independent for each state in the us and Mexico, and each province in Canada. But with free travel between the new, much smaller nations. Let's see how fast these conservative ass states who love to boast about their fucking fiscal responsibility last before collapsing and getting a bailout that requires they start offering fucking healthcare.
Good idea, only a tiny correction: North America goes down to Panama and includes the Caribbean.
But the EU doesn't include all of Europe as well, so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Keep Ohio independent, like a fucked up Switzerland
We'll just go to war with Michigan again if that happens
I have my doubts that a Republic of Sinaloa and the Grand Dutchy of Jalisco are going to work out.
There would likely need to be some reordering in the build up to The Great Dissolution and New Unionization
Can't wait to see an indie film about a small town Nebraska story shot in sepia because it's south of the border.
About that, how come Canada doesn't have a cold blue colored filter?
Wouldn't theirs also be sepia? You know. Maple syrup shaded.
Mapia.
I bet Canada does have a blue or grey filter in many American movies, filmmakers often use blueish filters in snowy scenes.

It's not though? Unless the map was changed between when you posted your comment and the one I'm seeing now.

A more realistic map may be blue, and blue if right option/candidate, contiguous regions of US joining Canada, and the more common pre-election GOP threat of remaining US invading Mexico and then assimilated into red US.
One generation later, none of the Americans remained. Having been removed from their threat for so long, they were now completely devoid of the natural defenses that were necessary to protect them from the devastation of Kinder Surprise eggs.
I would be ok becoming Mexican living in Utah, I love Mexicans.
Honestly, I think Mexico has a better chance cleaning up the cartels than the US have cleaning up, well... Anything.
If Mexico does that, this map looks pretty good
Without America, cartels don't have income.
Or guns. :/ There's literally one single gun store in Guadalajara for reference.

Is there some way we can ensure Ohio goes to Mexico?
btw, am in Michigan.
Hell no. Or rather I should say: ni cuando el infierno se congele.
Feel like Mexico is getting a raw deal here.
Why? They just got back all their former territory, and then some. As well as taking the largest economy in the US, and most of the largest military resources. Oh, and a fair amount of our aerospace industries. Also an absolute shit ton of oil refineries.
Yes but also
Fl*rida
We can finally quarantine the anti-human states, now that "states rights," aren't an issue.
Mexico outlawed all forms of slavery when they founded the country. The Alamo defenders were defending the right of US citizens to make Texas, which was a Mexican territory at the time, into a slave state.
As President Grant, himself a veteran of the Mexican-American War, once noted...
For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.

For a second I was wondering why Manitoba got to absorb so many states.
I mean joining Mexico sounds better than continuing to let Alabama be Alabama. We’d probably improve our public health, public transit, and healthcare options.
Maybe we could finally get rid of our racist, shitty constitution from the early 1900s (longest constitution in the world!)
I think Mexico should get Alaska. Just to further increase the distance between it and it's country.
Give Sarah Palin's village to Argentina. Because that would be funny.
