Collapse of the United States of America
The collapse of the United States of America will take place sometime between September 1 and September 30, 2008 according to Nostradamus. It will be caused by many factors: the obesity epidemic, the ongoing war in Iraq, the arrogant attitude of president George W. Bush, and the financial insolvency of America's Social Security program. While the nation will not split into 52 breakaway republics, there is a chance that Southern Americans will take advantage of the collapse to reform the Confederate States of America and use their influence to revert NASCAR back into a regional sport. Alaska would eventually join Canada while Hawaii would become a nation with other former U.S. territories in the Pacific Ocean. Quebec, on the other hand, would take advantage of America's collapse to become a sovereign nation.
