Not really correct. The peninsula consists of two Mexican states: Baja California Sur, and Baja California Norte. The United States dropped the "Alta" from Alta California after the process of defeating Mexico. I consider us all Californians, though, despite the political boundaries.
- pavlov 8y agoMaybe the previously-Alta California should follow the Mexican example and split into separate north and south states? That would fix issues with federal political representation, at least.
- macintux 8y agoGiven its population, California (U.S.) could and arguably should split into several states. An even division into 5 states would still leave them around the size of Washington.
- labster 8y agoAs soon as anyone explains how water would be apportioned in the new system, I might consider it.
- DrScump 8y agoBaja California Norte No, just Baja California, or officially, the "Free and Sovereign State of Baja California" (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California), according to its Wikipedia entry.
