Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

[madguy30]

Missouri. Long history of bat sh!t crazy folks.

WI has some sneaky ones though.

'Hi Ed! How's it going?'

'Oh hey der. Pull up a chair. Made it myself!'

 

[coolerifyoudid]

As someone that lives in KC and works with a ton of Missourians, it's Missouri all day long. These ******* hurt each other on accident and on purpose, with absolutely zero war going on.

Then you take into account the ridiculous amount of guns, ammunition, alcohol, caves and crazy, and it would be like dumping a truckload of grenades in a monkey enclosure.

Since Illinois is an option, this thread is too soon

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I drove through South Dakota, and I'm pretty sure I went two hours without seeing anybody

Oh, but they saw you.

They definitely saw you.

Exactly why I picked SD.

Their whole population would go ghillie suit on us.

N in Nebraska is for knowledge. We just show up, their leader (AD) would have already high tailed out to be leader someplace else.

Yeah Missouri seems ready made to fight in several ways, in several directions.

South Dakota, highest guns per capita of any border state

 

[BigJCy]

Illinois has the sheer numbers and then you have to deal with the gangs of Chicago, Rockford & Peoria. Then you also have the crazy rednecks in Central & Southern Illinois.

Missouri. They don't give any f*cks. They also have more meth, so they'll be like Nazi soliders in WW2.

Least afraid of? Minnesota. They're pussies.

 

[JM4CY]

South Dakota, highest guns per capita of any border state

But we could set up a pretty good defense on those hills up there.

Missouri has Whiteman AFB and Fort Leonard Wood. We would be toast.

To that end, if Offutt is nuclear, Nebraska is probably the easiest answer.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Agreed, they would fold during the first battle and flee to Canada.

 

[Jer]

Too many stupid Hawks in the state, we'd be screwed no matter what.

Populations
Iowa: 3.2M

Minnesota: 5.7M
Wisconsin: 5.9M
Illinois: 12.5M
Nebraska: 2.0M
South Dakota: 0.9M
Missouri: 6.2M

The answer is Illinois

Illinois would have to cross the Mississippi though which would theoretically be a tough barrier. Numbers would count for a lot less if Iowa could hold its crossings.

We could get a big vatt of poisonous Mountain Dew for the meth heads. Be like ants to Terro and take out half of them in a day.

Wisconsin

 

[Turn2]

There are a couple cases where I might defect to the other side. Not Missouri though, they'd present some fearsome problems.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

We need more threads like this... I'm definitely not trying to distract myself from recent events

That map hilariously exaggerates the elevation changes in Iowa.

Cool map though.
