I think America should be broken into 4 countries. Just draw a line bisecting the country evenly from coast to coast, then draw one through the middle vertically and bam, 4 new and totally different countries, each with their own particular lingo, customs, points of view, and cultures. We may be one county but we're so diverse we could dissect America this way and each country would probably thrive

Arbitrary geographic divisions to form "unified" countries has never worked well. Probably won't here, either. Not that dividing up the country wouldn't do a lot of good- and harm- but geographically wouldn't be the way. Your division would put Indiana in with Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. Which is the economic equivalent of having three unemployed deadbeat brother-in-laws crashing at your place.

Why stop there? Let's split the country almost fifty times!

Eh, to be perfectly honest, that still wouldn't work. People like to hold grudges; besides, it's not like none of them would then immediately try to get back into the US.

Considering the fact that that didn't work the first time...

Damn- if I hadn't spent so much time reading the previous post, I'd have gotten this in first.

Another civil war, in the most armed country on the planet. Rivers would run red.
