If it were just created via simple copy-and-paste, Califournia would have a population of 159 million people, which would be just under half of the current population of the entire country.
If it remained all one state and were not split up, it would certainly turn into a case of the tail wagging the dog. Califournia would be able to split off into its own country with a population and economy rivaling that of the entire remaining 49 states.
Nope, that was accounted for. California is the largest portion of US GDP by state, but it is still only ~15%. The smaller states really add up when there are so many
So, in the former, we'd have a massive population increase, but also a massive increase in overall tech manufacturing and output. In the latter, we'd have way more old people, but four Disney Worlds.

Califournia would be fine. The state has its problems but it's not a shit show like Florida
Suddenly 8 major ports in the country
Probably great sailing in those bays.
If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world. Califournia would be insane.
Investors, seeing the 4 beautiful udders of Califournia:
Imagine how many more houses you wouldn't be able to afford!
20th largest. Easy peasy.

If Califournia was a country, it would have the third highest GDP in the world, behind only the US and China.
If Flourida was a state, it would still only have a GDP about 10% higher than a single California
If california was it's own country, you'd have to remove California's gpd from the U.S. So I think it would be higher on the list.

Take Oregon and Washington with you! The dream of Cascadia
At least there's no Tenxas
I vote we turn Texas back into an inland sea. And I live there.
I love it when maps of the USA just replace Canada and Mexico with ocean XD
We needed a lot of land for the additional Californias and Floridas. CA --> CA ya know.
There is only 1 land that matters, everything else may as well be just ocean
I love that Califournia looks like its moving fast because of the length of text on the map
Like it's winding up to slap Hawaii

Dare I say: Mar a Lago x 4
Four Epcot food and drink festivals!
1 Florida is too much
Either would displace too much seawater and damage coastal developments across the globe
Yeah but look at all that NEW coastline just waiting to get developed to hell and back!
Would you have four penises? I'd have four penises.
Flor Flor Flor Flor Florida Floridada Floridada
Uh oh, North and South Dekota
Why not both? 🦀
Grand Fourks, North Dakota
More like udder nonsense.
Yikes. Both are terrifying
