Also the idea of the two most economically independent and arguably most “separatist” US states forming an alliance in a modern civil war is really not the stretch that most Americans with their ideology blinders on might feel it is. Two large polities that wish to be sovereign lean on each other to support their parallel ends? That’s actually tenable world-building, I think.
I believe in the lore, California and Texas both secede from the Union following an unpopular president getting a third term. The rest of the Gulf states secede as the Florida Alliance, and the Northwest secede in some other alliance not directly named but usually listed as Western Forces.
