DBWI: Who will be next to join The American Union?

That's for sure. The Ottowa Doctrine states that only Secular States are allowed to join, so even if Deseret wanted to join they wouldn't be allowed.
Actually, it might be a close race between Cascadia and California. Both of them fit the bill. 1st World nations with stable economies. It might be neck and neck.
 
Unfortunately this has only emboldened the arms race between the American Union and the European Union (EU) and the Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América (ALBA). Just consider that ALBA already has Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Colombia. With the exception of Brazil, we have nearly lost the South American continent.....

Like many in Congress, including Senator Medea Benjamin (D-CA) and Senator Ralph Reed (R-GA), we have to slow down the pace that the AU is expanding at....

I don't think so. If we can just get The Confederate States to join the union, then we will be able to outfight The EU or ALBA. Only problem is, The CS is still isolationist.

But President Mitchell has made recently shown some interest in the AU. The CS military just converted all their small arms to the AU's 5.45mm round.

I wouldn't count on the Confederate States as being much help. Just consider that it still maintained its policies of "segregation" until 1994. Second, they cancelled the elections in 2001 over perceived "liberal tendencies"(e.g. the right of women to vote). Personally, the CSA is more of an advertisment for membership in EU and ALBA....

The hell? They canceled the 2001 elections because the NLF bombed Richmond, Charleston, and Birmingham, and there was evidence of a plot to attck polling stations all over the CSA. Besides, they held the elections in 2002, so what's the problem?
 
Lemme think.
CSA's definetly out for now, They're warming up to it, but I say give them five more years to join up. There are some Die-hard Isolationist.
Deseret is out, the Mormons are pretty hard-headed and not likely to join up any time soon.
Cali's a pretty good bet. they have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

Remind me, wasn't Cuba intrested in joining?

Cuba's in the ABLA.

And no one finds it suspicious that the Mitchell wins the electoral vote by an "astonishing" c.70%. It seems more likely that the Christian Coalition was worried about their power-base and proceeded to crackdown on political opponents at will...

The position of "isolationism" seems to be a convenient tool of the oligarchy for preventing any international inspection of elections...
 
The only reason that the CSA is converting their ammo is so that they can pick up yours on the battlefield. Face it, they're not only years away from being part of your Union, they're years away from being civilized by any real definition of the term.

There's a movement here in California to join up, but I'd like to know exactly what the benefits would be. Or at least how they'd outnumber the drawbacks. We might be better off allying with Cascadia and ignoring you folks for now.
 
Clearly the biggest winner has been Brazilian President da Silva. With the American Union (AU) trade agreement, along with their membership in the Brazilian-Russian-Indian-Chinese (BRIC) Alliance, Brazil is likely to one of the top 5 economies on Earth by 2020. One more reason many people are suspicious of the "New World Order"...

Come on, California coverted last year, too. Texas did the same thing right before they joined, it gets a country points on the admission application. And seriously, the CSA isn't going to be invading anyone in the AU anytime soon, not if they like Rishmond and Miami and Birmingham the shape they are.

President Cuomo won with a similar %, so what?

At least with our elections, German, French, Japanese and British military observers were around to certify the elections for the League of Nations, which is more than I can say about the elections in the CSA. It was certainly amazing how many ballots turned up in New Orleans in 2005, despite the city being flooded...
