As a Canadian this reminds me of Quebec. They're always going on about seceding, but they're land locked, and without the rest of the country they'd be financially and socially FUCKED.
Reminder that Texas's yearly operating budget is roughly 51 billion, and they receive 62 billion in federal aid, so without the rest of the country, Texas can't even run the state
Yeah, except for the main East maritime entryway and port lol. Classic good ol' Quebec bashing.
Would that be beneficial to them though?
Quebec is the sea route to the Great lakes and the interior of North America. The absolutely enormous benefits of this are precisely why Quebec was conquered in the first place.
