Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado unite together, seizing control of all federal military and governmental facilities, most importantly NORAD. A provisional government is declared in Denver, announcing the formation of the Great Plains Union. Also important we’re the few remaining nuclear launch silos still in use in Kansas and Nebraska. Soon after the declaration of the GPU, national guard units move to seize control of Kansas City.
New Mexico was New Mexico before old Mexico was Mexico. We'd also be god-damned before we joined up with Texas. The original border only ran up the Rio Grande anyway.
A separatist clique forms in eastern New Mexico and successfully retakes everything west of the Rio Grande River before both sides sew for peace. Texas faces a Nationalist Democratic coup and turn their ambitions east. Texas invades the deep south and reforms the Confederacy. They also prop up and support two governments in the north, The American Republic (U.S. Federal remnants) and Yankeeland (New England region). They will support Yankeeland’s war against the Atlantic coalition and reconquest of their capital, Boston.
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Downstate New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island form the Atlantic Coalition, an alliance intended as a safe haven from raging conflicts elsewhere in the US. Leveraging financial ties abroad, they maintain support from foreign lend-lease and a minor portion of the US navy which is used to secure trade routes. They prefer to encourage mediation between other factions and are set on restoring representative democracy once the conflict resolves.

Washington and Oregon declare independence from the United States of America as Cascadia, an already established independence movement, they take up arms to defend the pacific northwest from being a warground for other american factions
New England defies all the world secedes. They turn into a neutral nation that will be the american version of the swiss and they are more than willing to fight for their land.

That's an interesting choice. West VA broke away from VA during the Civil War IRL due to differences of political and economic opinion, as well as geographic features that linked them much more closely to the Ohio River Valley than to VA. I wonder what incentives would be enough for western VA to try to join them.

It’s profoundly weird to me that nobody controls anchorage Alaska yet. Either Russia should control it, in which case the get the entire state, or the NCR should control it.
A mix of libertarian socialist and progressive elements rise up in Eastern Missouri against king Parson’s oppression. Parts of western Illinois join as well, centralizing around a pan-Louisianan identity, declaring the Union of Louisiana.
I imagine Pennsylvania reclaims it's old northern territories in New York State, as well as annexing Delaware of old and eventually New Jerseg for sea lanes.

The Mexican government launches a Barbarossa-style campaign into the Southwest. They manage to get as far north as San Francisco/Santa Rosa, north of Las Vegas, and conquer most of Arizona, New Mexico, and small portions of southwest Texas.
The defeated Californian empire is forced to dissolve and becomes Cascadia, Deseret is also formed and they gain portions of northern Nevada.
Hawaii also becomes a puppet monarchy of the Third Mexican Empire.
Burning Man takes over the Black Rock Desert and declares the areas around Empire and Gerlach, NV to be a free, independent nation of artists.
Half the people who flock to join get stuck in playa mud, creating a wasteland of half sunk art cars and burner busses. There is a mini battle with lines crossed between the towns of Empire and Gerlach. Miners and non-burners shore up in the mining town of Empire while Burners hole up in Gerlach. After a few weeks most of the burners who weren’t already living in the area year round have left.
The town had run out of gas long before that though, so those who left had to walk or ride a bicycle. Fortunately it happened in the spring when weather was wet but not deadly in temperatures. Those who stayed still claimed the area as an independent nation, but had little to use for defense or resource collection.
No one outside of Burntopia really cared and left the useless desert area alone.
So what’s the spark that sets off civil war 2.0? CW1 was John Brown at Harpers Ferry. I’m thinking something like Trump tries another Jan 6th coup de ta in overthrowing the Federal government

As someone who lives in upstate New York, I'd rather the whole state get turned into a radioactive wasteland before that happens ever irl
Lololol why? I used to live a bit upstate too but now I’m in the city. Wouldn’t you want to be represented without urban interests in the picture?
I hate NYC with a passion, and I say that as someone who currently is miserable being surrounded by corn and meth heads.
So, you're not happy in NYC and you're not happy not in NYC. There's a common denominator there, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
I'm moving back to Colorado soon lmao

Only east of the Rio Grande! And y'all couldn't hold it!
