Flutterby™! : Western States pact

Washington, Oregon and California announce Western States Pact

COVID-19 has preyed upon our interconnectedness. In the coming weeks, the West Coast will flip the script on COVID-19 – with our states acting in close coordination and collaboration to ensure the virus can never spread wildly in our communities.

We are announcing that California, Oregon and Washington have agreed to work together on a shared approach for reopening our economies – one that identifies clear indicators for communities to restart public life and business.

At some point we're gonna have to have a discussion about where the capital goes, and presumably as the Eastern Seaboard states join the new union we're gonna have to decide what's happening with the territory in-between, but in the absence of a federal government the states are eventually going to form a new one.

Edit: Several eastern states have announced a 6 state working council. If the rest of New England signs on, that's 13 states. So time loop or the writers are completely out of ideas.
