It doesn't matter if the population here is more concentrated. The possession of nucs deters any nation from attacking another.

With our greater technical know-how, we'll be able to develop a better nuclear shield too.

It will be an interesting situation in DC too, since it votes 90% or more Democratic. Could the capital declare secession? Would Red America have to relocate its capital to Montgomery Alabama, like Jefferson Davis eventually did?

Mind you, secession cannot be a legal matter; it would not get the support needed to pass legally.

-- & that's where things get messy. CA has what- Edwards, Vandenburg, San Diego, the Alameda Shipyards.. would the Govt even let CA secede? Or would the personnel on these bases be called on to stop move for seccession?
