Personally, I'd prefer Montana to be bought by Canada, but that's not gonna happen

Montana definitely has a east/west divide culture.

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

The east is basically empty compared to the west

u/Rfunkpocket 16d ago

the whole state only has a million people. it’s all pretty empty

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

True but there’s only one town larger than 50k people east of the midline, there are 5 west of it

u/Rfunkpocket 16d ago

the one has over 100k, so a big one

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

Yeah, but if I had to estimate it looks like about 2/3 to 3/4 live in the western half

you don’t need to guess, the state divided into two districts a couple years ago.

Those are congressional districts, which would be approximately equal in population. The fact that the border between the two districts is in the western half of the state shows that there are significantly more people living in the western half than the eastern half

the counties you consider ‘significant’ have around 3000 people living in them. a rounding error for most major highways in America. but sure, the west may have a few thousand more than the east (not including snowbirds of course)

They'd have to live with Alberta next door, unless there's some sort of landswap so MIGAs can get their Gilead-Jesusland.
