There are currently hundreds of secessionist groups throughout the
United States and North America. Some contain thousands of members,
while others only contain a few dozen. The Free State Project is one
of the largest with over 7,000 members. It is based in the state of
New Hampshire. New Hampshire contains over 1 million people. 7,000
cannot make a very large impact. The League of the South is another
very large organziation, attempting to form a nation out of the old
Confederate States. Arkansas has the lowest population of any Southern
state at over 2.8 million people. There is no way even 10,000 people
can make a truly peaceful and significant impact against that many
people. Following this logic, California will have the hardest time
seceeding, since it contains over 36 million people. Secessionists
gain most members by directly communicating with people. In a state as
large as California, it will take forever to communicate directly with
the majority of the people. Continuing this logic, Wyoming becomes the
most viable state for Secession. It only contains about 500,000
people.

Many people may sympathize with Secessionists, but will not join the
cause until one state actually does secede, providing them with proof
of secession's viability. By moving many secessionists from around the
country to Wyoming, we can quickly influence the state politics. There
is a very large Libertarian party in Wyoming that may also be
sympathetic to our cause. Also, over 50% of the state population lives
in one of five counties. Influencing the other 18 counties would be
incredibly simple.

First, influence local town politics. In small Wyoming towns, town
meetings can be a great way to convince dozens of people to join our
cause. Once we control the towns, we move on to the counties. As
support continues to grow, we will be able to have some of our
supporters join the state legislature. Once a state legislator
supports our cause, we can propose changes in the state constitution
to allow for secession. Also, we may be able to gain enough support to
elect a Federal Senator or Representative. Once we have a member in
Congress, they will gain national attention and support for the
Secessionist Movement.

Here is my grand plan. Please bear with me as it may seem unusual.

The general idea is that once one state or region secedes peaceably,
other states and regions may secede more easily. Other will secede
more easily not only because a precedent has been set, but because the
general public will realize that secession is possible. Once the
majority sees secession as viable, many will join the cause. Following
this logic, it would be unwise for the state of California (where I
currently reside) to try to secede first. As the most populous state,
it would be near-impossible to convince the majority to accept the
idea of secession. Continuing that logic, it would make the most sense
to choose Wyoming as the first state to secede.

Here are a few facts about Wyoming:
Population: 493,782
Population at or above voting age (approx.): 395,025
Registered voters (approx.): 256,766
Actual voters (approx.): 154,060

The five most populous counties make up 52.4% of the population
Actual voters not in 5 most populous counties: 73,332
There are 23 counties in Wyoming. The 12 least populous counties have
an average of 3,332 actual voters (with the 12th-15th least populous
counties containing an average of 5,038).

If we were to send members of our cause to settle in Wyoming, they
would have a very large impact in the 12 least populous counties.
Wyoming already has a very large Libertarian party that may support
our cause and about 60% of Wyoming voters tend to vote Republican. If
we were to have a candidate run as a Libertarian, or if we were to
gain the support of most Libertarians, it would be fairly simple to
win county elections. Once control of a county is attained, the state
can be won. Once we have a majority of state legislators and even a
single member in Congress, we can truly make progress.

An idea such as this is being attempted by the Free State Project.
Wyoming was actually their second choice. It has very relaxed gun
laws, it is giving away acres of land for free, it is the number one
producer of coal in America, the number five producer of natural gas
in America, and the number seven producer of crude oil in America.

About 96% of Wyoming is White, with the second largest group being
Native Americans. 78% is Christain, while about 20% is considered non-
religious.

Wyoming is full of opportunities that the rest of America is blind to.
Most Americans could probably not find Wyoming on a map. The people of
Wyoming must realize that they are currently insignificant to American
politics and history. Together we can make Wyoming a place known
throughout the world and help our cause greatly.
