The Animaniacs song would be Waaaay longer

California, Texas, New York and Florida would be just fine as independent countries. Every other state would most likely struggle on their own, if they don’t join up with other states

Nebraska would be the first ever triply landlocked country.

Gotta say Alaska's state flag is pretty good on its own, literally just "look at these cool stars in the dark night sky". Epic space moment.

I feel like Louisiana would play a large roll in it since it would control the mouth to the Mississippi River, which can be considered important to the economy of the US as a whole

Fun fact, The creators of Fallout also thought about this and came to the same conclusion. In the fallout series, Texas and California were the only functional regions left by the time of the games setting time period and had in their own right managed to rebuild quickly into functional, self reliant and powerful countries which in the world of Fallout dominated their regions of the wasteland.
