Balkanization of The United States

Description

The invasion and attempted reclamation of past British colonies, proved far too costly for the United States of America to fund the defense against, whilst combating climate change. One of the results of such an occurrence, was Formation Day - or the creation of The Pacific States of Cascadia, in 2060.

But, two years prior to this, it was found that the defense of the United States of America, would be much more successful, if handled via a method of consolidation.Consolidation of the States, within The Union, was nicknamed, by many "The Balkanization of The United States."

In 2058, two years prior to the Triumvirate's economic takeover of Cascadia, California, and the state of Nevada, this is what the USA looked like, on any given map. However, in 2060, California, and the post-Nevada area of Deseret, were completely absorbed into Cascadia - which broke off, to form a new country.
