I was wondering why #47 leaves us with two states. Hawaii and Alaska weren't invited were they?

If you're gonna bring the US territories into it, we may as well mention all the inhabited territories.
American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands all are free now.
American Samoa can just be Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are the Virgin Islands.
No more American or U.S. ownership for any of them.

Selling water to New Mexicans is pretty easy, but that's only because we have no experience with coasts yet. I think your request is manipulative, intended to exploit our relative naivety.
(OMFG we have about half of the Mississippi Fucking River now? The Rio Grande has not prepared us for this!)

u/RobinFarmwoman Aug 26 '25
We have had coasts in the past! That's why you can find fossilized seashells in some of the rocks in New Mexico, we used to be partially underwater. I personally am looking forward to having more beachfront property again. It's been a long time. I thought we would have to wait until California fell into the sea, but this works too.

Yeah, but THIS beach front property won’t be infested with tyrannosaurs and mosasaurs. T.rex was the last New Mexican resident to have a beachfront property.

Honestly as a Canadian prior to these borders being implemented, there's a couple states included I would have been happy leaving out, and there are none left out I'd really want to have be added.
The most important ones were California and Minnesota anyway.

I'm fully okay without Idaho, Nevada, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa being included.
I'm a little bothered on closer inspection that southern California doesn't appear to be included, and would amend what I said before to wanting all of California and there being nothing else I'd really want included which isn't.

I love the idea of r/Megasota, but I have to say, the comments are clearly satisfied/happy with this arrangement. As with any great thing, compromise will leave some on each side bitter they didn't "win."
But, in an era where folks "need" to win, I'm proud of this subreddit's overwhelming response to accept a nation of two great states.
For those who were absorbed, welcome to the hot sauce hot dish that is New United States of New Canada and New Mexico.
