    Ok, in a world where there was a fully functioning United States of Europe and every European country obviously made up an individual federal state, which US state would Ireland resemble the most?

    And what other European countries would have similar US equivalents?

    Dublin would be New York, Limerick would be Compton, Belfast would be Birmingham, Alabama, Cork would be New Orleans, Galway would be Seattle, Wexford would be Georgia.



    I chose to disregard your directives in the OP becuase my idea is better. :)

    I'd say Maine. Boring, but nice and safe. And small.

    Ireland would resemble West Virginia in terms of geographical size or Louisiana in terms of the size of the population.
