That's cool. There are many of these across the country, I hadn't heard of this one. Of course the chances of any of them happening are very slim, but it shows regional issues.
Many in Chicagoland would love to slop off the state south of I-80, and many downstate would love to cut Chicago away. It's pretty disproportionate when 75% of the state lives way up in one little corner.
Supposedly this was going to happen, but WW2 stopped it. That would have been an awesome state.
I think it would have backfired. As parts of California and Oregon, these areas go unnoticed and they are left alone. As an independent state, these counties would be in the spotlight and more people they probably wouldnt want there would move there.
As far back as I can remember northern California has had some sort of movement to seccede from the south. Hasn't happened and likely wont... not because they are not two different states. We almost moved to the Redding area in the 90's since it was a different place and we wanted out of socal way back then too. But because nocal has only half an economy. Now, make California its own nation.....
A few counties in the cascades with hardly any population? naw....
So California would lose about twelve people and a volcano?
