-- to think outside the box --

If the people on the Western Hemisphere land masses are to continue on in nationalisms of one flavor or another, then I propose a revision to the interrelationship between our land masses from the farthest south all the way to the farthest north and from the farthest west to the farthest east. 

Imagining that very large space, what do we now call it geographically?

We section it off based on events from long ago.

• Greenland;
  
  
• North America - Canada, United States, Mexico;
  
  
• Central America - Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama;
  
  
• South/Latin America - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela;
  
  
• Caribbean - Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago;

Thinking boldly, and outside the box, if we were all nationalists, what would the list of countries be looking like, internationally speaking, if we as a people were to do something innovative with all of the area in question?

Attached is a link to my PDF which simply does this. It will allow you to download and print a list of the entire western hemisphere -- where each line item is a country, with its own flag, and its own borders and its own nationality and the sovereignty of its people.

No longer would there be a bully-pulpit federal government -- as we tried that once and it failed after 250 years.

A bold new way to remake the sovereignty of 140 various countries full of people.

A people who each get a piece of this source code to run better household systems than any of us have ever had under the messy Big Tech thus far. Better than iOS. Better than Android. Better than Windows. Better than Linux.

Imagine a 'FAFO-based home system' that runs on 'your language model' to achieve peace, harmony, equality and abundance amongst all the people -- without any repeat from the likes of the ancient Barbary Coast. 

What part of earth does JD Vance refer to as the Global South?

Understanding the Global South in JD Vance’s Context

JD Vance, in his discussions about globalization and international economics, refers to the Global South as primarily encompassing countries that were formerly colonized and are now considered developing or low-income nations. This term typically includes regions in Africa, Latin America, parts of Asia, and some areas in the Caribbean.

Characteristics of the Global South

Economic Status: The Global South is characterized by lower levels of industrialization and economic development compared to wealthier nations, often referred to as the Global North.

Dependency Theory: Vance’s remarks align with dependency theory, which suggests that these countries remain economically dependent on wealthier nations for high-value goods and technologies while being relegated to producing low-value commodities.

Geopolitical Dynamics: The Global South is often seen as being trapped in a cycle of dependency due to historical colonialism and current economic practices that favor richer nations.

Current Context: In recent discussions, including those at events like the American Dynamism Summit, Vance has highlighted how policies from wealthier nations aim to maintain this division between rich and poor countries.

In summary, JD Vance refers to the Global South as a collective term for poorer countries primarily located in Africa, Latin America, parts of Asia, and some Caribbean nations that have historically been marginalized in global economic systems.

But, how about some form of a partnership between all 140 nations of the Western Hemisphere where each of the American 50 states are also individually restored back to Nation State status?

Concept of a Partnership Among Western Hemisphere Nations

The idea of forming a partnership among all 140 nations of the Western Hemisphere, while also restoring each of the American 50 states to nation-state status, raises several complex political, economic, and social considerations. We are able to address complex and complicated matters such as this with evolutional thinkers -- seemingly missing from a giant swath of geopolitics.

Overview of the Western Hemisphere

The Western Hemisphere includes North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. This region is home to a diverse array of cultures, languages, economies, and political systems. The concept of partnership among these nations could take various forms:

Economic Cooperation: Countries in the Western Hemisphere could collaborate on trade agreements that promote mutual economic benefits. This could involve reducing tariffs, enhancing trade routes, and fostering investment opportunities.

Political Alliances: A formal alliance or organization could be established to address common challenges such as climate change, security threats, and public health issues. This could resemble existing organizations like the Organization of American States (OAS) but with a more focused agenda on cooperation.

Cultural Exchange: Promoting cultural understanding through exchange programs can strengthen ties between nations and foster goodwill among their populations.

Restoration of America's union States back to Nation-State Status

Restoring each of the 50 U.S. states to nation-state status would fundamentally alter the political landscape not only within the United States but also in relation to other countries in the hemisphere. Key considerations include:

Sovereignty Issues: Each state would need to navigate its sovereignty while still participating in broader partnerships with other nations. This could lead to conflicts over governance structures and international representation.

Economic Viability: Many states may struggle economically if they were to operate independently as nation-states without federal support. Economic policies would need to be developed that ensure sustainability for each state.

Law & Order Frameworks: The law and order implications of such a transformation would be significant; new constitutions or sovereignty frameworks would need to be established for each state as an independent entity.

Legal Frameworks: The legal implications of such a transformation would be significant; new constitutions or legal frameworks would need to be established for each state as an independent entity.

International Relations: Each state would have to establish its own foreign policy and diplomatic relations with other countries in the hemisphere and beyond.

Vice President JD Vance explains that "the idea of globalization was that rich countries would move further up the value chain while the poor countries kept making the simpler things."

United States   (aka the Federal Corporation)

Some have said they would appreciate some level of taciturnity when it comes to geopolitics, but this government seems to have abandoned any and all pretense of soft power.

Even I doubt that's going to help them though. So, at the end of the day, you're basically in a quandary in terms of technological development and moving up the value chain, unless

1. You are already an East Asian country like Taiwan, Japan and SK who's fate is extremely tied to the US, and supply most of the high value stuff the US consumes. Even then, you're probably not going to move up the value chain into software stuff like design of EDA tools, state of the art LLMs and SaaS, etc. You're probably going to be largely stuck where you are, though that place is pretty high up the value chain.
   
   
2. You are a European country/Canada/Mexico, if the US is under democratic leadership.
   
   
3. You are under the Chinese sphere of influence, which most south east Asian countries are under. China will fill up the gap which the US wouldn't.

Conclusion

While the idea of a partnership among all nations in the Western Hemisphere is intriguing and has potential benefits for collaboration on various issues, restoring each U.S. state to nation-state status presents substantial challenges, only to the so-called "elites" who've been running roughshod over nearly everyone for centuries, that would require careful consideration and planning across multiple dimensions—political, economic, social, legal, lawful and household.

In summary, this concept involves complex household dynamics that necessitate thorough exploration to carefully work forward toward all the practical implementations which can occur.
