5. Can we join too!!

Vermont came close to rejoining the UK over the territorial fight with NY. Had the timing been different, Yorktown surrender and NY hadn't agreed to compromise, we might have ended up as Canada's strange little appendage. Lots of Quebec ties as it is, particularly in the NEK and the Champlain Valley. And there was that whole thumbing their nose at Jefferson and continuing to trade illicitly with British Canada. Smuggler's Notch isn't called that because it's a cutsie name for the tourist trade.

7. The Civil War settled that question.

[Polybius]

10. It's illegal to succeed

But it was illegal in 1776 too.

[DavidDvorkin]

11. Both secessions resulted in long, bloody wars

Do we want that again?

[Polybius]

12. No

But the next one doesn't have to be.

14. In part.

This is 159 years later. The great empires in Europe shed independent nations behind them from Ireland to Moldova, and there's a judo move in that the red hats have been having erotic dreams about secession and the CSA for a generation.

I could see California doing it. The GOP would be enticed by potential electoral dominance for a generation, and the red hats think CA is a drain on the nation. Then comes VT, which would join Canada, followed by MA (Ind or Canada)and HI (In some loose association with CA, minus military land).

Minnesota isn't strongly Democratic. I don't see a 50+1 vote, and I don't see the 60-70 percent support needed to convince the US government not to fight it.

8. But first I have to move to Minneapolis

[Ping Tung]

9. Preceded or followed by Washington, Oregon, and California.

13. Think the Vikings can adapt to CFL rules?

I'd think I'd write that into the treaty somewhere if I were Canada
