It’s only logical, then, to consider the possibility – indeed, the probability – that at some point in the future the US might well contract. Or break up. Or something. The question isn’t if, but when. And how. And in response to what forces. And finally, what does the political map overlaying the North American land mass look like at that point?
There are any number of theories out there. For instance, a Russian economist predicts http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=85351 that our current economic mess will fracture us thusly:
And so on and so on. A lot of people have contemplated the breakup of the Union and there are any number of ideas as to how it might all play out. So with that in mind, let me ask you to consider one more map, one that reflects a particular contemporary reality. Any idea what you’re looking at?

Give me one historical fact that a great power dissolved over debt. Lots of ways for that to happen but a debtor nation failing because it owes another country is absurd.
