Countries in general have a strong dislike for regions trying to become independent. There's just no way California will be able to become independent. Not sure about the US laws though, but in Europe there isn't even a legal framework for achieving something like this.
- trilbyglens 1y agoEven if it came to war, it would be highly unlikely with a border as long and as undefendable as California has.
- andy_ppp 1y agoYeah, I assume you mean California couldn't defend itself from the rest of the US under a California exit.
- trilbyglens 1y agoYes, exactly. They basically have some mountains and a fairly large expanse of desert, but that's pretty much it, as far as geographical barriers go. And it is a very long border.

Not sure about the US laws though, but in Europe there isn't even a legal framework for achieving something like this. Even without a legal framework, it happens sometimes, through various means. Ireland used to be an integral part of the UK, say, Finland used to be part of (imperial) Russia, and the Baltic states were part of the Soviet Union.
