In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, you could separate the Eastern and Western Halves (they both would need something like Four or Five times the Population each, but if the POD is far back enough that shouldn’t be that much of a problem;))

Actually there aren’t that many people up here (The largest town has a population of 19,661!), so maybe more like twenty! But you’re making an awful lot of states, so some of them are bound to be pretty sparsely populated…
 
That could happen rather quickly. The Senate did rule that they would accept senators from California, though the state did not have a recognised (set up by congress) territorial government and instead just held an election and appointed some senators and sent them in, and West Virginia's rump Assembly did get recognised for it's senators during the civil war.
So the senate could just recognise the senators that the big states send when they break up. And considering that the primary reason the big states don't break up is the financial arguements that will take place over the debt, and that inflation is going to wipe out that debt when the dollar collapses, the states might break up very soon.
The Liberals complain that the conservative and less populated states have disproportionate influence in the Senate. This is true and unfair. What the Liberals don't complain about is that the large states cast all their votes by majority to the electoral college. That's why Gore won the election in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. The cities overwhelmed the rural areas in the large states like Florida and Ohio.
Well, we don't know that the Republicans lost Ohio. That's just a supposition based on their rigging of the voting machines not to record votes. For all we know they might actually have won.
If the large states were broken up the Republicans would gain most of the rural new states that were no longer outvoted by the cities. I mean, no matter how you slice up New York or California or Florida or even Texas, the Republicans gain senators.
If we had 100 states we would have 120 Republican senators. Granted, they would half be northern or western Hillary Clinton type (she was Young Republican till the southerners started taking over the party in the sixties) senators, but that would give us a big chunk of reasonable people in the Senate instead of the loonies we have now.
We could use some old fashioned fiscally responsible Republicans now. Abolishing the few hundred billion dollars in liberal welfare is okay if we abolish the trillion dollars in conservative welfare as well. Which is what it's going to take to balance the budget without tax increases.
 
native states

would be cool to see a cherokee state, call it echota after the capitol town. basicly eastern half of tennessee, nw georgia, n alabama and sw north carolina. probably the 5 nations up north deserve their own, too. (not that all the others don't).

Surely you mean "Greer County," which would no longer be a county....
 
Indeed...although it is only 70,000, I believe...but the rule stating that the legislature of the state mus agree might've been tossed out, and one stating that in-state secession :)eek: ) is a-ok might've been put back in.
 
Why is southern Indiana called Wabash? The Wabash cuts across the northern part of the state, and then along the western border. I recommend Gibson, simply because that's what it's called in Confederate Victory timelines.
 
Southern Indiana exists as an Independent, culturally southern state but Southern Illinois doesn't? A more sensible thing would be have such state made out of Southern portions of both states combined into one.
