    No Alaska. Just NYC, LA, and a couple spots between.

      Alaska is basiclly Wyoming

    They usually see London and Paris when looking for monuments to destroy

      But only very specific parts. In fact, if aliens invade and you’re in Paris or London, just stay away from the general vicinity of the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben and you’ll be fine.

  Which country will they sell weapons and send airstrike to if they are the only country in the world

    Texas

    Texas and Florida are the natural third world countries to invade. Especially texas. The US would move quickly to secure the energy resources and ‘free’ the citizens of a corrupt failed state.

      See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…

  Someone forgot about the colonies. Guam, Puerto Rico, and the USVI.

    Nope they are fictional

    And American Samoa.

      Oh fine. Just tell Midway Atoll to fuck off, why don’t you?

    No one cares about them

    Just like real life.

    Don’t forget American Samoa, too.

  If the US territory were to exist on its own, there wouldn’t be an United States.

  source

  • deranger@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    A United States. You wouldn’t say “a uniform”. You would say “an underling”. First one has a y sound to start, second has a u sound to start.

      You would if you wanted to be an jerk about it.

    It wouldn’t look the same, but the US could domestically produce enough food and energy to sustain itself.

    • Chocrates@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That could probably be said about anywhere, given time, money, and willingness to reduce population.

      I could probably build an underground vertical farm in the Sahara and feed myself, if I pumped in saltwater to desalinate.

      I mean, it absolutely could. California alone supplies the planet with a massive percentage of food. If the this image was accurate, we’d have a surplus of food. We might just have to tolerate losing a lot of stuff we can’t (?) grow, like bananas. Or they’d be remarkably expensive because only Hawaii or something could grow them.

      Power? Again, we have collosal amounts of energy or energy potential. From green energy to fossil fuels and natural gas. Without selling it to our allies, we’d have a surplus of energy.

      This is literally why America is a the superpower. But a lot of countries could likely do this. Russia could for sure too.

      Economically, however, I can’t even speculate.

      Fun thought experiment, worthy of a Kutzgesagt video!
