“Consider . . . the way North America really works. It is Nine Nations. Each with its capital and distinctive web of power and influence.... These nations look different, feel different, and sound different from each other, and few of their boundaries match the political lines drawn on current maps....
Most importantly, each nation has a distinctive prism through which it views the world.”
Joel Garreau, writer for the Washington Post and author of The Nine Nations of North America.
