I think you mean 'secession'. Anyway, what would be the minimum number of people to have the right for it? A region? A city? A 'barrio'? A family? A group of friends?

If you're asking my personal opinion I think there would need to be a population of at least a few hundred thousand in favour of succession. I guess it would depend on how many people are required to run a functional state. Perhaps there would be middle grounds where smaller groups can be granted some level of independence. Although that might naturally arise from states wishing to retain some level of control over a discontent population seeking independence. I know many believe devolution is the answer to Scottish independence in the UK.
- lacker 7y agoI think Facebook, for example, could run a functional government. If they were allowed to secede and turn the land they own in Menlo Park into a small low-tax low-regulation country, that would probably be quite profitable for them. So be careful what you wish for!
