Major cities pop up around interesting geographical boundaries (like rivers) and that’s also where the state lines were drawn, I’m guessing. It’s why NYC is trying to get into NJ as well.
This is what the West would look like if divided into states along more natural boundaries, in this case the hydrological regions. This would have been a much more ideal way to set things up for longterm stability. Each region would be in control of its own watershed, in a region where control of water is everything.
Yep. Kansas City and St. Louis are both located at the confluence of 2 rivers. KC is at the Kansas-Missouri confluence, and St. Louis at the Missouri-Mississippi

Nobody in NYC wants to get into NJ!? Isn’t it just a necessary evil sometimes?
I want room service.
The city itself wants to escape to be with it’s other city brethren: Hoboken and Jersey City.
