Four states have been former republics. Several have sporadic or persistent secession movements.
Which state, if it left the US, would make the most functional new country?
Iowa (or any state in the Midwest) would make a better independent nation than any of those, because we don't need anything from anybody else. Notice that Iowa was relatively unaffected by the recession.
New York, Texas, and California have extremely elaborate population and economic needs that make them dependent on other regions.
