I am firmly of the belief that if the PNW were to become independent we would adopt only the name Cascadia. No 'Republic', no 'Democratic' no other labels or abbreviations. Just 'Cascadia'. Reason? We've always resisted labels....

Arizona checking in.

I know we’re not normally included in this, but yes please, take us with you.

Our 2022 elections show Hope.

We need to break away from climate change deniers as our heat becomes more extreme and from people give away our water rights to foreign countries.

Idaho and Utah are extremely conservative right-wing states. What in God's name do you think would make them want to ally with the far west coast? You have a nice time in Salt Lake City (which is 2/3rds owned by the LDS) or something?

Ridiculous.

I prefer the Cascadian Confederacy of independent systems. Roger Roger!

It doesn't hurt to dream big.

However, it's unlikely that the Canadians and Mexicans living within those areas that are currently Canada and Mexico will agree.

Oregonians would never choose to be called Californian.

If I've learned one thing from bio-regionalism it's that borders that are straight lines are a bad sign.

Nope. I don’t like this one little bit. We are Cascadia.

Interesting map. I could be okay with Southern California and part of Mexico, but I would not be interested in including Idaho Utah or Arizona.

Also this is missing Alaska, which is way more important

Utah, Idaho and Arizona are extremely right-wing. I wouldn’t want them as part of Cascadia, because I don’t think they would align with the values which is the whole purpose.

If we are pushing east for Idaho and Utah can we add Wyoming?

I see Oregon will adopt the Ukrainian flag and stamp a beaver on it.

Also, what happened to Lake Michigan?

They have Alvarado where the State of Jeff would be (along with part of Southern OR).

Assuming Utah would join someone else's project is assuming a LOT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State%5C_of%5C_Deseret[1][2]

Including parts of Mexico and Texas in this way is really way off the mark, especially leaving out Montana.

Washington literally all but said they're gonna try to establish good relations with Montana and Texas and I agree - trying to reach over the fence to ANYONE who wants to make an honest effort/attempt to work together to make things better for everyone is something I will always support; it's not a waste of time unless the representatives working on the project make it that way.

I think I made a remark somewhere else - this map is uninformed and mostly noise in the signal/dissonance.

It's not a very good prediction or scenario; more like someone's projection of how they see the world instead of examining the parts and seeing how they want to fit together.

Idaho and utah? The single most racist state outside of the south and religious zealots are not what make for a good society.
