My vote was for North Dakota, an aging, declining population, a border with canada, not very much federal land(they might get angry). Wyomoing is even more landlocked(high and dry) and alaska is atleast 51% or more federal land.

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.
