    New California and New Oregon would depend on federal support to pay the
    bills and you left out Puerto Rico.

    Any new state should have at least the population of Washington DC.

    "Financially, remaining in Illinois is a pretty good deal for Downstate.
    New Illinois would have more prisons, parks, and colleges, but those are currently paid for in large part by Chicago-area residents. According to
    a study by Southern Illinois University, the state’s southernmost
    counties get back $2.81 in tax revenue for every dollar they put in,
    while Cook County loses 10 cents and the collar counties lose 47 cents."

    And it also supplies water to metro areas.

    Are you saying the Feds would use their water system to prevent Californians from legally forming a new state?
    Yeah....that sounds like dems....to a T.

    An entity that didn't exist when the water rights were allocated? The
