• This would make for an interesting military scenario in a future dystopian setting when the resources of the USA run out and they invade Canada to acquire the resources of that land.
• Officially, this sort of thing is mostly a thought exercise, done to figure out edge cases that another opponent might exploit (and partially, to not be caught with the military's pants down in case unlikely things happen). Unofficially, or in the hands of a General Ripper or President Lunatic, who knows?
• Word gets out that one country has a remarkably detailed plan to invade its neighbor. This is unlikely to be good for international relations.
  • At the moment that word gets out, the hypothetical invader is doing "routine exercises" near the border that look similar to early steps of the invasion plan. What will the hypothetical target's response be?
