What would happen if New York declared independence from the United States? This short political what-if story follows the state as it tries to defend itself, call in allies, and survive a fast-moving conflict it cannot control.

The US responds immediately, sending its army while New York shifts into defense. In an attempt to turn the tide, New York reaches out to California and Texas, but neither is willing to join. As the pressure builds, the East Coast is persuaded with promises of low taxes, yet even that support is not enough to stop the advance.

With time running out, New York turns to Russia for help, offering money and parts of the US in exchange for soldiers. But the aid is limited, and the United States still crushes the rebellion, forcing New York to surrender and bringing the conflict to an end.
