Washington/Oregon Map

The Washington-Oregon (NR) map is the “everyone’s a winner” map.  On the west side of the Cascades, you have the newly formed country of Cascadia; an environmentalist-socialist paradise second to none!  Once formed, urbanites can immediately outlaw all use of fossil fuels, offer free health care and college tuition, implement open borders to the world, tax evil corporations, and move “Burning Man” to the coast.  On the other side of the mountain range, the State’s of Washington and Oregon can repeal state laws that suffocated rural communities, seek open market policies, fair trade, lower taxes, freedom of religion, school choice, conceal carry, and drug testing for welfare recipients.

Note:  Cascadia is not as far-fetched as one might think.  The movement is active and bi-regional to include Canada and Northwest United States.  Wikipedia states, “The main objectives stated by the (Cascadia) movement include environmentalism, bioregionalism, privacy, civil liberties and freedom, increased regional integration, and local food networks and economies”. “You win, we all win”
