Dismantling-the-Union thought experiment question for American citizens: If the US broke up into 50 independent nation-states based on current states, and you were forced to pick citizenship in one... Which one would you pick? And which state do you live in now?
Disagree re: Texas. The only truly self sufficient and democratic Petro-State today is Norway. My guess is that Texas would slide deep into authoritarianism due to inequality within a generation. Massive brain drain to more liberal states.

are you suggesting that simply being a petrostate leads to authoritarianism? I can think of very good historical and geopolitical reasons why so many petrostates are tyrannical shitholes.
