>Another idea, Western oregon, Western Washington, and British Columnia should be combined into one state, or maybe their own country. We are pretty similar. Yep, I've heard of that before. They call it "Ecotopia" or "Cascadia". I think the standard idea is to take northern California (probably not including the Bay Area, just wine country), OR/WA east of the Cascades, most of BC, and also some of Alaska and make that into an independent nation. Good luck getting both the US and Canada to agree to that though...
