You seem to have forgotten that ND has 2 Airforce Bases (one which is a ICBM missile control center), the Cavalier Space Command Radar site,and 3 Army traing areas. I'm pretty sure that the FED's would send in the troops to put down the "rebellion".
But the 650,000 citizens would probably welcome you.They're really independent people.

No I haven't forgotten.The Airforce Bases and Missile silos can be shut down in the next round of closures.
