i used to belong to the splitting camp. Now im in the one state group. as someone else said in Ca's case its diversity is what makes it. In the case of the nation as a whole it seems more of a handicap.

I'll play along:

Southern Cal: Northern border would be just above: Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, and Bishop. The capital would San Bernardino.

Jefferson: Southern border would be just north of Ft. Bragg, Chico, and Neveda City; result: 2 new conservative U.S. senators. The Capitol would be Redding.

Northern Cal: Everything in between; result: 1 new liberal U.S. senator, 1 new moderate or liberal U.S. senator. The Capital would be Sacramento.

We would have Ft. Bragg-Mendocino, The Bay Area, Sacramento, Chico-Paradise, Truckee-Tahoe, Gold Country (Neveda City-Auburn-Placerville-Angeles Camp-Sonora), Monterey Bay Area(Santa Cruz-Monterey-Carmel), San Luis Obispo, all of San Joaquin Valley(Stockton-Modesto-Merced-Fresno) excluding Bakersfield.

Sacramento -- Federal District (Washington DC west). Sacramento metro

Jefferson - North of Redding to Oregon border

Northern California - Bay Area to the Sierra Nevada/Tahoe border. wraps around Sacramento.

Southern Cali - LA to SD and east to Inland Empire.

The foothills - Sonora to Yosemite

I could go for this if it meant thousands of high paying federal jobs, national monuments, and federal headquarters -- Langley West, etc.

What would be the exact boundaries of this District?

What would become of the State Capitol building, and all those state headquarters in Sacramento?

What cities would be the new state capitols?

You could also ask how many countries the U.S. should be divided into since it's exactly the same concept.
+1

Boy I wish I had the time to dream up such stupid nonsense like splitting the state in 2. Some people have no life.

Water. Would be solved for NoCal. SoCal would be toast if the state were split across the middle.

Californians should unite to keep California ONE STATE. For the love of god don't you see we are in a war here? We must Keep California intact so we can continue to keep Texas in it's place! Do you guys really want to live in a country where Texas, TEXAS! is the wealthiest and most populated state? I don't, and I'm sure your children don't either.
