In short order the winners are as follows:
1. California
2. Texas
3. New York
I think at the end if these three states went at it Texas would be the last one standing.
Alaska would probably stay out of it.
Please, the only thing those three states have in common is how severely underfunded and under equipped their state Armies and Airforces are(National
Guard units).

The Pennsylvania National Guard is composed of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. It is one of the largest
National Guards in the nation.
These forces are respective components of the United States Army and Air Force.
.
Airlift squadrons fly C-130 Hercules, C-5 Galaxy, and C-17 Globemaster III aircraft that transport people, equipment and supplies. Air refueling
units, flying KC-135 Stratotankers, provide air-to-air refueling for strategic and tactical aircraft.
The Air National Guard has three rescue and recovery squadrons that fly HH-60 helicopters and HC-130 aircraft. These units provide important
lifesaving capabilities and services to civilian and military agencies. Air support units that fly A-10C Thunderbolt IIs provide forward air control
support of close-air support missions. The general-purpose fighter force is equipped with F-22 Raptor, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon and A-10
aircraft.

Add in Pennsylvania's industrial might it still has, combined with large deposits of coal and natural gas + all the nuke plants we have= PENNSYLVANIA
WINS!(Plus we have a large enough population that we could raise a decent sized army quickly and out of the State National Guard's, Pennsylvania has a
grade A in flight refuel wing, so no need to stop for fuel on the way to Texas and California!)
