If you lose the Blue States, you lose Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington D.C., Philiadelphia,Pittsburgh, Madison, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, oh and Silicon Valley. There wouldn't be much left of your US. Perhaps you could revitalize Richmond as your capital.
The new capital should be FantasyLand at Disney, where the minds of the red states apparently reside. Or maybe it's neighbor, Bagdad-Adventure Land.
