The six nation proposal has only one 'swing' region between current Democratic and Republican party control. However, some regions that border a new proposed nation would be on 'the outs'. I look at two areas: the 13 counties in Oregon in the Greater Idaho movement and the western counties of Virginia who probably would not want to be in the new New England based nation.

We are focusing on the six nation proposal and looking at whether each region is a 'taker' or a 'donor' for payments from the federal government to the states. A common view is that the 'red states' are moochers. Surprisingly, the new nations are not massively subsidized.

Not advocating for civil war or focusing on blame. Focusing on the nuts and bolts of a national divorce.
