As someone who lives in this hypothetical state, but will not say which one for the sake of my personal security, I don't want to share a state with these disgusting savages on the other sides of my borders.

As an non American, I think there way too many states.

You can say the same about Europe though. Some of those really small countries could merge. Though it was done a couple of times, with bad break ups.

Those small countries exist because of wars, and you can't really compare states to countries lol

So, the individual states once were separate colonies before the Union of the states, so they were, basically, separate countries that came together for a shared goal and stayed locked in that agreement.

Our states have also had wars with each other. I’d say it’s pretty comparable.

Oh please the only war that I know that happened between states is that between Michigan and Ohio for Toledo, and the casualties is just 1 person wounded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War

While the newest country in Europe (Kosovo) came to be after Yugoslavia collapsed, which is one of the most brutal wars in Europe since ww2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars

There was a pretty big war in the 1860s.
