Also who's your pick for winner of the arbitrary 4-way american civil war? Personally I'm hoping for the West, but I'm worried Northeast might sneak victory in when nobody's looking

It's the mountains that I consider to be the thing that makes them so much more defensible than the other factions. They're the faction that is least defeatable at the least.

Is the interior particularly important in the event of a war? Big empty space. As long as what they need to maintain the war effort is placed in more defensive locations it's actually not important territory.

This I totally agree with, at a certain point it would just be too much of a pain in the ass to deal with them, hence why I think they'll end up just being a neoliberal hellhole confined to the California valley.

Not really aside from fresh water (there is a separate water table east of the Rockies see image below), air bases, and nuclear silos. There's arable land as well but I don't think that's as important considering the breakup. The most important factor probably being the Nuke silos, and aquifer which will get more important as time goes on.
