Or UCanMex, or MexUCan... we're good either way.

So, Canada, Mexico, and any US states adjacent to, or west of, the Rockies should declare themselves a new country.
Unfortunately I don't think we'll be able to get Alaska back... even if they do sign up.
But we'll try my friends... we'll try.

Of course any other State would be welcome to join up, and maybe we could nip this police state I see coming in the bud.

We've already got a pretty formidable wall most of the way.
Now, as for that unprotected coastline...

       Is Arizona west of the Rockies?

       wikipedia: "To this day:   

       Best Foods Mayonnaise is sold west of the Rocky Mountains, specifically, in and west of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Hellmann's is sold east of the Rockies, specifically, in and east of the Frontier Strip (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas)"   

       Doesn't Mention Arizona

       All US states are "west of the Rockies" if you travel far enough

       I thought that establishing territorial borders along natural boundaries without regard for the ethnic distribution of the inhabitants was a quintessentially British thing. Why are *you* suggesting it?

       I note that Trump is now going to block entry to dual nationals whose other passport is from a muslim country. So, US citizens will be prevented from entering the US.

       If you make it MexUKan...

       Yes, but subsequently taken up enthusiastically by many other nations. However, Britain's reputation for intellectual innovation is unscathed.   

       // Why are *you* suggesting it? //   

       Because it's obviously right ?

       We'll allow Arizona to join up for sure.
Any state which wishes to partake of whatever is in the water that makes us on this side of the mountains play well with others can.
  

       Later we'll politely ask South America if they want on board during our Make "America Whole Again" platform.
Of course we'll then all be Amexucan's.
  

       heh, we might just be able to talk California into it. [link]   

       I swear I had no idea. I typed in Canifornia, and then Californada, and then California joins Canada and there it is.   

       Life's strange isn't it?
I think it's strange anyway.
  

       Ha!
I must only use my powers for good.
  

       I suggest a merger between Canada and Australia. Could call it AusCan or something cool like that.

       The official newspaper would be "The Messy News Can".

       A friend just sent me a link to a petition calling for a semi- merger, or at least a elimination of borders between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. They call it "Canzuk" [Link] Yeah, that would work.
