6. Beginning of Secession

In my opinion. Unfortunately necessary. The Union will win again. If things continue as is, we will see more of these Interstate agreements that may very well lead to what is in effect, if not actually, a separate nation. Interesting times.

10. Interestingly "non-partisan". Could have weird structure if red state cities join.

7. Parallel power structures...

Resistance 101.
