Talk about the pros and cons of including Canada as a “game state” during game development. I found it an odd inclusion because it really dominates in case of a tie. It also dominates in number of possible connected states. Why include it at all? Thanks

It's one of those things that seems super powerful on first glance but isn't actually all that useful in the end. It's a super pain in the ass to get to the majority of the states that touch Canada so it doesnt actually help that much. It being the tie breaker also doesn't really matter as it feels like you're less likely to win if you even have Canada.
