If all 50 states went to war, who would be your top 4 contenders to win that war and why?

Okay, what's actually needed to win this war: - Industry - Oil - Electricity - State patriotism - A seaport (for trade outside the USA) or border with Canada/Mexico - A good governor - A viable export economy - Food - Potable water - Large population

- Gun-toting populace also helps Anyways, outside of being targeted as the favorite it is REALLY HARD to argue against Texas here. It has all of this in spades, especially the state patriotism. Other interesting candidates: CA, PA, VA, and NY if it can hold its port.

Re: oil arguments. In WWI lots of countries imported/used coal still. https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/petroleum … In WWII Germany invaded Norway for it.

I was thinking that California could sel software for oil to foreign countries.

This is tough. What constitutes “winning”? In this scenario are we assuming that every state takes an immediate and irreversible “every state for themselves” stance? And if so, are states allowed to ally themselves with other nations?pic.twitter.com/xEQXCUUTZZ

Don’t know. Yes. They can trade with outside nations.

Top 4 is by population. I think FL wins most often. I've played enough strategy games to know the value of fighting out of a bottleneck. They have a clear path to conquer a couple more states without exposing themselves exponentially.pic.twitter.com/u9ZlVUcqnY

Good point re Florida’s position but other than that I think they’re screwed. No oil and no way to get it.
