Four states by Nick

Not gonna happen, but if it must be broken, each new state has a major metropolitan area, so that way each can have some sort of economic hub. In this scenario LA, Bay Area, San Diego, and Sacramento would be said hubs. And each has some bipartisan counties as well, so democracy can function.
