There was, for a very brief time (1980-81?), a print magazine called Next, which proclaimed to be "for futurists". The most interesting article in its short run was a proposal to dissolve the United States and reorganize smaller nations along regional lines - classical ones like New England and The Old South; others less ingrained in tradition, but with a certain logic.
Maybe Tom can find traces of the article, or the thought behind it, somewhere on the Web...
