47% of the country lives in the eastern time zone, 29% in central, 7% in Mtn, and 17% in Pac. I'm going with the East.

If the US was split straight down the middle, who wins in a war? East or West side?

Depends on which side Texas joins.

Skeptical Optimist

10/20/21 9:25am

The side with more money almost always wins, so the east

Texas is on which side? They have most of the guns.

Texas is split down the middle. The split doesn't recognize state lines

Oh if west has west Texas I choose west

But Cali has no guns, so they provide 0 help.

Well...I wouldn't say 'zero help'. We need someone to go to the war protests and

CA has more registered guns than Florida

letthewookieewin

10/20/21 9:52am

Also - more registered guns than Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Texas...

But can they use them? (My comment was TIC)

Who controls Iowa? Whoever controls the heartland (Iowa) would win the war.

Which middle? Geographical or geo-populace?

The geo-populace center of the U.S. in 2010 was south central Missouri.

If you divide the states into east/west by population:

Here's the Geo-populace center of the US...

If this is the dividing line I take the west. If the dividing line is geographical it's the east.

If we were doing it by this map(population) I take the west

Cool. Just ran the numbers, and figured the square mileage line would run about

Alaska REALLY skews the geographic center west, doesn't it?

Squeegee

And good luck trying to fight a land war there. 🤣

10/20/21 1:52pm

Continental US only? Where do you put Alaska & Hawaii to determine the middle?

East, easily

Hotlanta

10/20/21 9:31am

West. The East would be in bed by 11pm EST....then the West would attack.

WJCougar

10/20/21 9:32am

East. More industry, people, and more natural alliances with other countries.

ForzaPuma

10/20/21 9:32am

I agree. The east would dominate. The west coast is too soft and would collapse without much effort. Texans

What does the military do in this hypothetical? Bases on the east/west each

Tricky

10/20/21 9:39am

Where are the most military bases located?

West - Hollywood would convince the East to surrender.

mudpupper

10/20/21 9:49am

West, assuming they get Hawaii. Look what happened to Japan after Pearl Harbor.

hydrocoug

10/20/21 9:54am

West, since the East gets the commander in chief.

hydrocoug

Excellent point. Worked for the Taliban...

LeftOfNormal

Texas would refuse to join either side and would just reconquer the land

j-woot

West - No question. Bangor.

Chadillac

East would be able to more quickly concentrate their population in a given area. East wins.
