utah was forced because they're in a personal union with another country
I don't understand why everyone is apparently throwing such a hissyfit about this
Minnesota randomly changed their ideology and randomly left the New Union. Randomly. No reason. Nada.
Kentucky randomly changed their ideology and randomly left the New Union.
New York randomly changed their ideology and randomly left the New Union when they were a key state in the New Union AND surrounded by 'Mericah loving democracies.
States don't do this. Countries don't do this.
