Originally spotted via @WallStreetSilver was this short Tik-Tok of what a “Sunbelt Republic” would look like if Texas and Florida seceded from the US, and inevitably brought in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama:
The rough maths on the KPIs look impressive:
- A combined GDP of $4.5 Trillion (it would occupy the #3 slot in the G-7 and bump Canada off the bottom of the list)
- 455,000 square miles would make it larger than France and Germany
- Total population over 66 million – the 23rd largest in the world.
Of course, this is a hypothetical (for now)...
