Oh it is much much more then that.
- We grow 40% of the produce in the US, and are teh only source for many popular foods
- We are a (the?) leading dairy producer
- We provide the technology for homes and offices
- leading univeristies
- primary ports for import and export in the US
- leading aerospace r & d
- leading tourism destination
- best and most popular national parks
- leading producer of wine in the us
- leading producers of entertainment of all sorts
- > 1/10 of the country;s population, hence that proportion of miltary would be gone
- leading defense sites for all branches of military would be gone
I am sure there is more.... |

If California broke away from the rest of the US, it would either float toward Hawaii or sink into the ocean.
Next question? |

California would become a part of Mexico and that = a shithole country. |

There is a lot of things California does well, and many things they seem to live in the 19th Century!
Currently, you just borrowed $65 BILLION from American taxpayers, so you don't seem to be able to run the 3rd largest economy in the world!
I don't think you will be able to break away. It isn't exactly like you have a governor, or a legislature that knows how to run a government!
You need us more than we need you! Think about it! I think your ego is showing, or is it your alter-ego? |

They would have the U.S. Armed Forces march in and reclaim it. The people responsible for the attempt to break away would be accused of treason, but likely pardoned before being executed(required punishment). The State of California has no legal right to attempt to break away from the U.S., only Texas still had that Clause. |

Works for me.
My fellow Americans it is with great sadness that I stand before you today to announce the Sale of the State of California to Dubai. I know that many of you, especially those of you living in California, will be disheartened by this news. Tough times require tough measures and the burden of carrying California’s negative equity position on the books was simply too great. The bottom line is we could no longer afford California.
The good news is that with the cash we will be receiving from the sale of California and the removal of the negative equity position we will be able to purchase Mexico outright and finance a long term positive equity position (a loan) to purchase Canada (except for certain parts of Quebec which nobody wanted anyway). Mexico it was felt has a long term potential for future capital growth enhancing the overall equity position, abundant natural resources (OIL) and a cheap supply of now legal labor. The funds allocated to construct the “wall” between Mexico and the US will be used to construct a “green barrier” between “New Dubai” (California) and bordering states. In addition to the “wall” Crocodiles will be introduced into the Colorado River System to prevent illegal immigration from New Dubai (California) into the US. US oil companies will retain their off shore oil leases off California and the Department of Defense will retain their defense installations and provide security in a new agreement with the Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (aka Sheikh Mohammed). The detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (pronounced Kooba) will be relocated to new facilities at Universal Studios. A 150 mile “free trade zone” will extend bilaterally between the US and New Dubai. Standard travel rules and restrictions will apply (passport and not currently on the Terrorist Watch List, TWL).

It's economy would fall apart, there would be a mass exodus of people who would want to remain Americans, and they would be taken over by some scrawny country from the middle of Africa because they wouldn't spend a dime on national defense. |

dude, can't you ask a legit question? the impossibilities of that happening is slim to not a chance.
and for the sake of this country, don't compare it to France. California doesn't smell like cheese...hehehe! |

Aside from the east coast the center of the country would soon decline into a state of vigilante, militia run, mini theocratic Principalities in which the Televangelist would hold sway if not absolute power in a very short time: as well as one in which you or I may be less than welcome. |

America would **** California in the buttcrack and reclaim it. It doesn't happen. We had half the country break off and reclaimed them. |

if california physically broke away, then it be an island. If it politically brokr away, then well, a great disaster would happen. It would either become a part of mexico, a part of canda, or a country by itself. But then we'd find another movie mking capital of the our nation, and cali would soon drown from an earthquake. :D |

With the socialists in charge, California would only go bankrupt that much quicker.
So many taxes, rules and regulations that it is hard to even make movies in California any more. Notice how so many TV shows and movies are filmed in northern states or Canada?
Plus, it would not be long until Mexico owned California, since the state would be deprived of Federal protection. |

America would go into a deeper recession. California alone has one of the top 20 economies in the world. From an economic perspective the US needs California more than any other state. |
