Yep, you can have it all. Plan on setting up for the next hurricane.

Not much than a swamp turned into a garbage dump. New Orleans (French Quarter) reeks of urine, vomit and stale beer. Cleaned out periodically by hurricanes. It's all yours, just tell Govna Bobby J. I sent ya.

Sure... just remember who your friendly island to the north is when the British Government claims 13 states on the US Eastern Seaboard!

...now where did the Proclamation Line run through again?

Does this whole business with the US breaking up remind anyone of Crimson Skies?

Hmm, sounds like a Scifi novel.
Lets see:
- 13 old states, either the rest of the US of A or a british protectorate/colony
- Texas is independent, of course
- the rest of the southern states go either back to Mexico or will become some new latin republic
- Arnie becomes president of the People's republic of California
- the South rises again, but this time as an african american nation
- The lakes area gets absorbed into Canada
- The Sioux and other Indians renounce all treaties, go on war path and take their land back

Germany could annex Pennsylvania, though...

Come on, I didn't even ask for the Statue of Liberty, although it would look pretty cool on a trafic circle in Paris
Don't you have one there already albeit a smaller version of it?
