America as Several Smaller Nations (self.asklemmy)

I've been wondering about how well a lot of American states could function if they where fully independent states. I'm not thinking every state would be it's own country but states banding together and becoming there own countries. An example of this California, Oregon, and Washington.

I'm thinking that kind of like the Fediverse it is easier to manage and do more the people on a smaller scale.

What do others think of this?

Before we go this drastic, can we increase our representation in congress? 435 isn’t enough. Using a number determined about 100 years ago has forced congressional members to represent more and more people, helping to polarize the house.
