Megaregions:The Future of Post-America

So you thought you lived in a city, county, state or country? Maybe not so much. You may live in one of 11 megaregions in what may someday be the former US.

I live in the Great Lakes megaregion which is one of the largest in land area and population. With ample land area, water, agriculture, industry and population the Great Lake megaregion can be a successful nation all by itself. The mostly conservative Christian culture is sturdy and self reliant, not wont to rely on a central government to redistribute wealth and babysit it's citizens.

I like this idea. Perhaps some lose confederacy with other megaregions and the interstitial places in between. If only there was some way to trade the dopers, slackers and losers to other parts of the world for other sturdy people.

Of course you'd have to go into the region's central cities with nets and capture the animals that infest the area then load them on ships for Somalia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Gaza and other similar places where they'd feel right at home. Then enact some zero tolerance laws using Singapore as a model to keep the place livable. Voila! Great Lakes could be a wonderful place to live when the US divorces.
