Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What if California seceded from the US?
As seen in the endless marathon debates in
the U.K., departure from a united body isn’t an easy task. It seems to polarize
the citizens of both the departing state and remaining body.
California is the most populous U.S. state
with approximately 40 million residents. The state’s economy is the fifth
largest in the world after the US with or without California, China, Japan and
Germany. It means the tax revenues from California is vital to the US federal
government and other states, not to mention the world’s mightiest military
forces.
Of course, there are no clear and present
talks or moves of California’s secession. But what would happen should the Golden
State tried to secede from the U.S.? It seems like the situation of Catalonia’s
independence movement from Spain. Would there be another civil war or military
invasion?
However, because of the scale and influence
of California’s economy, technologies, immigrants, and environmental
initiatives, Cali-exit would certainly shake the world order should a secession
occur.
Enjoy reading and learn about what-if
scenarios about the Golden State of America.
