How would that work? You need to have some kind of coherent territory for a state to work I would say. If you do a reboot and someone is not happy with the new values but does not want to move, what do you do?
- JabavuAdams 6y agoExactly. I guess "re-boot" was the wrong choice of word. I meant to create a new country on new territory, but with sufficiently like-minded people. EDIT> I mentioned anti-discrimination rules because even if you wanted to create a new polity, you can't actually legally deny membership even to people who would be hostile to that polity. Unless you start a religion ... weird.
- phobosanomaly 6y agoUS states do that to some extent. Alabama is a whole different ballgame than California, and people do (to some extent) tend to self-segregate into states that match their preferred lifestyle and political environment.
