LEGEND:

1, 10, 11, 12, 51: Districts: While not officially States (revenues not comparable to most of the other corporations), their cultural/social meme forming status deserves recognition.

23, 24: East and West Ford/GM: In a surprising reversal of anti-trust laws, all American automotive corporations would be forced to merge in efforts to fight off growing competition from Japanese car makers. This industrial powerhouse's valuable role would keep the CSA mobile therefore East and West Ford/GM would be given precedence of use over the Great Lakes as a corporate perk.

9, 18, 26, 36, 41 : Commonwealths: The CSA Commonwealths would be given special permission for legal relief allowing for a broader publicly owned local economy.

30 : The Louisiana Purchase version 3.0 (a.k.a. “How the West Was Bought”): In light of the inevitable demise of World Com, a 3rd option for the Louisiana Purchase would be auctioned to the highest corporate bidder. Inquiries to its former owners could be made at the initiation of potential buyers (former owners include: World Com, the former government of the USA now known as the Consumer States of America, and the Native Americans)

13, 14, 17: Breadbasket: The modern breadbasket of the CSA would serve as the food creation center, creating new methods for increased agricultural production and modified post-organic food sources.

15: Exxon/Mobil: Due to the sheer size of this mega corporation, Exxon/Mobil assumes a boundary as large as its incoming revenue.

7: West Disney-Vegas: Disney World and Disney Land, representing the entertainment industry, would be granted a large area in the west to form a symbiotic relationship with the existing Las Vegas entertainment industry.

41-47: Vanguard States: It would not be possible for every business to have a piece of the corporate pie in the highly sought-after "Old New York Cluster" region. Several leading corporations would have to be chosen by the legislature to be "Vanguard States." These Vanguard States would consequentially be given a radial piece of the pie from the epicenter of what was once known as New York.

30, 49, 50: Territories: Areas of land that maintain status either as colonies of corporations (i.e. Texaco, name splitting to differentiate the territory from the state), disputed land after a financial folding that maintains its boundary until corporately cannibalized, or zones of non-corporate specific ownership.

20: The Enron Strip: Having been invaded and conquered by its greedy neighbors, former board members, share holders, employees, and faithful customers would still honor the memory of Enron in the same way that nations such as Tibet are remembered.

50: Old Hawaii Territories (The Municipal Territories of CEO/GOV): Property of the former government of the USA, would be used as a retirement facility for long-standing career politicians and CEO’s.

51: Washington, D.C. (District of Columbia):


NOT LISTED: Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and Guam: Used as vacation hotspots for corporate CEO's
Cuba: Would serve as the new base of operations for the former USA military
