New America
The SciFi -- Science Fiction -- genre is being challenged by PoliFi -- Political Fiction -- by Edgar Steele. His current discussion of the Balkanization of America is based on logical extensions of political trends extant today. Considering what may occur subsequent to the destruction of the United States in war, his conclusions are worth pondering. A short extract:The region which is left, including portions of Canada, is what I think of as "New America." New America will be bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, to the north by the far reaches of Canada's Yukon, to the east by New Israel and to the south by Aztlan, New Africa and the Gulf of Mexico along the current Texan coastline.One wonders how fuzzy is Mr. Steele's crystal ball.
New America likely will stretch right through the Great Lakes region, incidentally, and encompass much of northern New England, as well, giving it an Atlantic coastline. The people of Maine, New Hampshire and northern Vermont are, for example, much more akin to those in the western United States than those in the Boston - New York - Washington, DC nexus. Eastern Canada could feel compelled to join, as well, simply to ensure its self preservation in a hostile world.
Thus, New America becomes pretty much a White European homeland, with its borders imposed upon it by others, in the main.
