Califournia would be fine. The state has its problems but it's not a shit show like Florida

[-] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Suddenly 8 major ports in the country

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Probably great sailing in those bays.

If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world. Califournia would be insane.

Imagine how many more houses you wouldn't be able to afford!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

20th largest. Easy peasy.

If it were just created via simple copy-and-paste, Califournia would have a population of 159 million people, which would be just under half of the current population of the entire country.

If it remained all one state and were not split up, it would certainly turn into a case of the tail wagging the dog. Califournia would be able to split off into its own country with a population and economy rivaling that of the entire remaining 49 states.

If Califournia was a country, it would have the third highest GDP in the world, behind only the US and China.

If Flourida was a state, it would still only have a GDP about 10% higher than a single California

Take Oregon and Washington with you! The dream of Cascadia

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

I love it when maps of the USA just replace Canada and Mexico with ocean XD

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

There is only 1 land that matters, everything else may as well be just ocean

[-] Aliendelarge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We needed a lot of land for the additional Californias and Floridas. CA --> CA ya know.

[-] Moosely@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I love that Califournia looks like its moving fast because of the length of text on the map

Like it's winding up to slap Hawaii

[-] Silverseren@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

So, in the former, we'd have a massive population increase, but also a massive increase in overall tech manufacturing and output. In the latter, we'd have way more old people, but four Disney Worlds.

Dare I say: Mar a Lago x 4

[-] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

Four Epcot food and drink festivals!

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

1 Florida is too much

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Either would displace too much seawater and damage coastal developments across the globe

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but look at all that NEW coastline just waiting to get developed to hell and back!

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Would you have four penises? I'd have four penises.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Uh oh, North and South Dekota

[-] pezmaker@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yikes. Both are terrifying

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Why not both? 🦀

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Grand Fourks, North Dakota

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago
