45. OK Texas, you want to go, here's a list of U. S. Property I want back when you leave.

* All military assets.
* All other government equipment and assets.
* All federal employees.
* All U.S. Currency.

Things you can enjoy when you're an independent nation:
* Coming up with your own currency and valuation.
* Coming up with your own military and paying for it with above currency.
* Paying the United States of America fair market value of USA owned property can can't be carted out when you leave the U.S. (actual buildings, in-ground infrastructure such as cabling and any power plants, etc.)
* Coming up with a taxation system to pay for items above, as well as all infrastructure needs.

And, just because I like you, Texas, here's a bonus item for you to enjoy, free of charge:
* Filling in the economic void the U. S. Federal Government provides in both funds and employment.
