Oh it’s totally simple. The legislature votes to secede and the governor signs it and boom your state is now a country!

Oh it’s totally simple. The legislature votes to secede and the governor signs it and boom your state is now a country!

A couple questions:

• The USA has a national debt of $20 Trillion. What sort of formula will be used to apportion it to the new Nation (former State)?

• The USA pays SSI retirment benefits to it's citizens, mostly based on the continuing inflow of revenue to the SSI program. Assuming SSI contributions will not be required in the new country, do you expect SSI benefits to continue to be paid by FedGov to citizens living in New Country after the split?

• US military veterans receive healthcare via the VA. Will New State take on the care of veterans of another countries veterans (USA, that is). If so, for how long.

• Who will pay military pensions for US Veterans living in New Country?

• Who will be allowed to move to New Country after the split.

• Who will be considered a citizen of New Country after the split?

• Will it be Jus soli or jus sanguinis, or both.

  For instance: assuming Wyoming is the state which becomes New County: would being born in Wyoming mean you are a citizen of New Country?

• How about having two parents born in Wyoming?

• Will New Country honor the treaties made between Indian tribes with Fed Gov?

  Who will adjucate conflicts between Indians and New Country?
