Minneapolis County, Minnesota

''This article is about the county and its government. For the city it overlapped with, see Minneapolis.'' Minneapolis County was a consolidated city-county that existed in the U.S. state of Minnesota from 2053 to 2134, when the union was dissolved in the aftermath of the Nogales nuclear war. The county was created due to tension between the Hennepin County suburbs (especially around Lake Minnetonka) and the central city around housing affordability and high taxes.

Politics
Minneapolis was solidly Democratic from the 2056 presidential election to the 2064 presidential election. In 2068, the Democratic candidate Connor Hilton only narrowly won a 37% plurality in the county in a three-way race, and the county became a Green Party stronghold from 2072 onward.
