Also who’s your pick for winner of the arbitrary 4-way american civil war? Personally I’m hoping for the West, but I’m worried Northeast might sneak victory in when nobody’s looking

NE and West would be the only real contenders as a matter of economic power.
My bet is NE because they would be able to bribe or coerce the midwest into sharing Great lakes water, at which point the clock on the West running out of potable water would be the driving factor behind their surrender.
West>south>midwest>northeast
West is obviously strongest but northeast is literally the smallest in land and population. None of these regions would lack in water, just bad policies, bad infrastructure, them not sharing water wouldn’t even be a factor. There are places on earth where wars have been fought over water, America probably won’t be one of them unless we are talking tens of thousands of years into the future and by then water probably won’t be the biggest concern climate change wise.
read cadillac desert lol (but i don’t think western water would be a deciding factor in <decade long war)
