Okay, so this just came to my attention and I just had to write about it.
So apparently, the big inner of California has had enough and has decided to declare independence and become the 51st state. They would call themselves "New California", The split is over the state being "ungovernable" and that there has been a decline in infrastructure in the state. I guess the split may owe itself to the fact that most of the population lives on the coast and that the rural areas of the state are neglected? Or it could just simply be a political split. Anyway here is the diagram of the proposed idea.
Two things:
1. "New California" just doesn't seem right to me, especially if it's going to be made up of rural counties, which isn't exactly new. Now it seems like they are modeling this split after Virginia and West Virginia's split, so why not just call it "East California"? That seems like a better name.
2. The first thought, and funny thought, that came into my mind was that in a few years the area labeled as "California" will be separated from the state via the fault lines and earthquakes, so the people in "EAST California" won't have to worry about the people on the coast costing them money. And it is true stuff, look it up.
Honestly, this probably doesnt have a snowball's chance in hell of happening, but it's funny nonetheless.
What do you think?
