The bottom line is that we don't know if and to what extent secessionist areas would be invaded or what would be done about it. Let's cross that bridge when...

Good points, plus with Bushs vauge Wilsoian talk of Democracy his adminstration is in no posistion to give advice on autonomy. The Swiss might give better...
Nationwide victories do secession no good whatsoever because they sap it's motivation as in British Columbia. What we are looking for in election results is...
The fundamental error here is that a nation is not about identity, history, culture, lifestyle or language. It is about law, policy, trade, internal migration...
... No, that's what government is about. I for one prefer to keep the word 'nation' for its original sense (the root of the Latin word means 'birth') -- a set...

Some Cascadian Bioregionalists are considering including northern California, perhaps as far south as Frisco in the borders of a secessionist Cascadia, But...
... It has such control vis-a-vis all other entities save one, but I acknowledge your point: Oregon is not a *sovereign* state. The Basques are a nation. -- ...
