West coast calling:

What if you annexed us? We have beaches and it’d more than double your economy.

East coast:

Oh hey that’s not fair, we have equal amounts of beaches, the water is just a different color. You are going down with us..

  • Middle America: good luck eating when we cut off both of your food supplies.

    Now both of you go stand in a corner until you are ready to work together to take down the government that has us all acting this way.

    • California alone grows about half of the US's nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Both the West Coast and rest of the country could reconfigure production to serve themselves if desired.

Sadly I can't imagine the US letting go of all the Pacific ports and home to Pacific fleet. At best you might draw a line above LA county.
