re: #93 Decatur Deb

Yeah—it’s a technocrat’s wet dream. IIRC, we played an IBM-card based computer game called “River Valley” that simulated the operation of such a region.

I guess though with the private sector the ‘economically’ tied regions wouldn’t just be based with the country borders but internationally. So RI for instance in terms of ‘economics’ could be tied to Asia/China and SA to some extent. I know for instance in the case of BC the economic region is tied more to Asia then say the Maritimes. I supposed that’s why there’s international orgs like APEC.

I wonder if anyone has taken the time to map this all out. Would be an interesting visual to see essentially a corporate/economic map of the world.
