Only downside is that it will definitely appeal almost exclusively to the GTA-generation. (Hint: Think colors, not cars or politics.)

(Yes, it is both bigger and more voluminous than the Mississippi at St. Louis.) The dams and hydraulic monopoly it establishes will have a huge impact all the way to New Orleans, making huge parts of the prime food-growing areas reliant on Montana politics.</p> I predict some interesting results the first time people realize that Montana owns the Missouri River, the largest in America.
