There is a plethora of issues that have to be addressed, to name a few:
* The U.S. Government would have to be ok w/losing a ~1/6th of it's economy.
* California has no military; funding such would be expensive.
* All existing multilateral agreements the U.S has entered into would NOT apply to an independent California. An independent California would have less bargaining power in renegotiating said agreements.
- Isamu 10y agoI don't disagree but the California National Guard is under state control normally, when it isn't federalized by special order. Some 23,000 individuals. They'd have to act quickly to seize control before the federal government but it could be done.
- gremlinsinc 10y agoI think the wiser plan would be for technology companies who are pro-secession join forces and create a militia of tech -- i.e. invest in robotic/drone tech for military purposes, that way they can unleash a war if need be--but one of robots/drones instead of people. I think the next world war will be more about technology than it will people fighting people. Controlling drone/robotic weapons tech could be huge for a country wanting to secede.
