A theoretical North American union, or even a full North/South Americas Union, similar to the EU is fundamentally impossible because of how dominant the US is on every metric. Canada and Mexico have a combined GDP of $4 trillion, less than California alone and 15% the US total

California alone has about the same population and 2x the GDP as all of Canada. This map is still Canada joining the US, not US states joining Canada. Yankee and Left Coast Americans would immediately have a huge majority of political power in this arrangement.

Prediction: China's births for 2026 will break lower than trend because it's a Fire Horse year, which is superstitiously considered especially terrible for girls. Sex ratio might also spike towards males out of trendline.
