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.
