I am from western ny, and we would be happy to be rid of New York City. I live 30 minutes from southern tier, so that is nice too.

I think if all of the states could secede from D.C. we'd be better off for awhile. At least until the new crop of crooks took over the new capitol. Then we secede again. And so on until we are all stuffed into a small area like Rhode Island and the rest of the country is a corrupt cesspool ;D
I'd be all about southern secession if the new country wasn't going to be run by southerners ;D I'm a southerner and love the south but our history of running anything other than a sports team well isn't so great. There's still a little too much 'old south' mentality hanging around the people who actually run things here for them to be trusted with a state much less a country. We've already allowed ourselves to be the third world of the U.S. while still having to obey federal standards. If you throw those out the window we would quickly be the China of North America.

Strategy

Free Cascadia. Oregon/Washington/British Columbia as one independent region - one of the only regions to still be sort of habitable (probably) after acute climate change - if the so called "big one" earthquake we are due for doesn't take us out first.

Or your ring of active Volcanos. I loved living in Seattle, but I was always a tiny bit nervous when I'd look up at one of those peaks.

Gotta represent the Midwest here (yes there actually is some life thriving between the 2 coasts).

We are a resilient people battle-hardened by epidemic morbid obesity, tornados, and uncontrollable Walmart consumerism. You have no idea what we've been through  ;)

I am all for this (especially if the Big One levels the space needle), though we'd immediately have our own East vs West secession crisis.

I say Hawaii needs to secede....after I retire there. Then I'm good. The rest of the states and Feds can kiss my ass  8)

the original louisiana before it was split up.  they'd have a bunch of farmland, timber and the mouth of the mississippi.

I hope Texas secedes, so I finally have a good reason to leave this stank @#$ black hole of a state. Just my opinion.
