The po-faced venality of the republicodemocrans in the states is no fun, just annoying. A bit of balkanization would pep things up no end. Split the union up into competing bana republics. I want to see lots of gold epaulettes and saluting. These things need to be done with a bit of panache.

That's exactly what Scaryduck said....
