United States of Happiness, cont'd

I propose that the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states (down to the Mason-Dixon line) extricate ourselves from the brain-dead middle bits, but take the states bordering the Great Lakes with us - at least their top halves. Southern Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana we don't need. But that would give us Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. We could then buy a couple of mile wide strip of land along the 49th parallel so that we could join our nice, safe, happy country with the nice, safe, happy Pacific states. Canada, we would give you a really good deal on this.

(I'm trying to post a map of the USH, but blogger is being difficult.)

The US of H

The United States of Happiness is in blue. The beige is the Confederacy. Green means we have given Alaska to Canada. Utah is now Deseret for the Mormons to do with what they like. Texas is its own country, which they've always wanted to be anyway. The red chunk is Heartland America Homeland Land. I think this map makes a lot of sense, don't you? The USH will totally dominate.
