One for either side of the aisle

Califournia would be fine. The state has its problems but it's not a shit show like Florida

If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world. Califournia would be insane.

If it were just created via simple copy-and-paste, Califournia would have a population of 159 million people, which would be just under half of the current population of the entire country.

If it remained all one state and were not split up, it would certainly turn into a case of the tail wagging the dog. Califournia would be able to split off into its own country with a population and economy rivaling that of the entire remaining 49 states.

I love it when maps of the USA just replace Canada and Mexico with ocean XD

I love that Califournia looks like its moving fast because of the length of text on the map

So, in the former, we'd have a massive population increase, but also a massive increase in overall tech manufacturing and output. In the latter, we'd have way more old people, but four Disney Worlds.

Either would displace too much seawater and damage coastal developments across the globe

This is utter nonsense
