I think I get what you're trying to say now.The Soviet Union turned into Russia. Still the same size, really. Sure, Ukraine broke off but look at them now.
What will happen in the US is that the 50 states will become about 5 states. The PNW states will likely become one of them, the SW states, Mid- America, the Southern, then the Northern states. It would be so much easier to manage than 50 individual states; meaning less government. They will pool their resources. There will still be a national government that oversees all and provides defense. How you interpreted my post to say that the US will somehow become a larger country is beyond me.
I had thought you meant certian states would group together and become independent. Making five countries where there was one.
Now you're saying certian states will lump together making 5 states where there was 50 and still be one United States.
I don't see that happening.
I could possibly see the breakup of the United states. From there I could envision a scenario where several different countries emerge that were close knit and had a sort of confederation of former states. Close trade treaties and common defense pacts.
