predicts YES

@BenjaminIkuta Good point!

@LeshyIjaraq Well? How would you resolve?

predicts YES

@BenjaminIkuta If it considers itself a continuation of the ideals of the current U.S.A, I'd consider it resolved "yes." A "No" would be a collapse, destruction, or a transition away from a democratic republic.

@LeshyIjaraq Well that's rather broad, isn't it? The Republic of China in Taiwan considered itself a continuation of China, and Byzantium, Rome.

A transition away from democracy can be gradual, a matter of degree. How do you draw the line?

Does the US exist as a stable democracy in 2023?

Define stable..

The market is currently set to resolve at the end of this year. You should change it to 2100 and set a reminder to come back to resolve it.

@Calvin6b82 Set it to 2050, and we'll see where it is from then. If I'm alive (and the market's still open) by 2060, I'll set it to 2100 and we'll make BIG money if America's still a thing
