So far, I really like this idea as I've articulated it here on FR off and on for at least the past 5 years!!!

My idea was that any county in contact with sea water including shipping canals/ports, or any international border would remain CALIFORNA REPUBLIC and the rest becomes SIERRA REPUBLIC!!!

and the rest becomes SIERRA REPUBLIC!!!

Or Sierra California (including much of the valleys)- has a nice 'ring' to it!

Those not living in big cities along the coast are the whipping boys, I tell 'ya. How population density holds sway over the rest of the state is mind boggling. Build a slum, rule the state. What a country.

ps. Rain dance not coming along so good, need Golden or Bald Eagle feathers, pronto- Tonto.

Never happen, but we might, just might, see the state shifted out of the education, housing and safety net business.

There is a better chance that control of education, housing and public safety can be returned to local government than the state being split in two. After all, even Mexicans in LA County have issues with state government and could be persuaded to vote for regressions.
