Last year I would have been entirely against secession, being from a landlocked state (Ohio). However, seeing how the economy is going and how the government is getting worse and worse, it may be more beneficial to live in an independent country of Ohio.
The State's portion of the federal debt should be directly proportionate to the population of the state as of the last census. The state will begin with that amount of national debt. States such as Texas and Florida, with booming economies, wouldn't suffer, and any state that deals with the debt responsibly should have no issue recovering.
Secession would end up being beneficial in the long run anyway, since with the imminent collapse of the UN and other world government orgs, nobody can say that country isn't independent because only the de facto would apply.
Several years ago, I was experimenting with secession theory and figured out that any state with a GDP per capita of more than 10,000 should be quite stable long term, and any state with more than 5,000 GDP per capita, if governed by fiscally responsible patriots, should be an economic powerhouse in no time.
Secession and disintegration of nations is something I have always been interested in. The concept is both blasphemous to a nation-state and the epitome of liberty. Such an event has not happened since 2011 when South Sudan was internationally recognized as a sovereign nation. I am too young, however, to remember that, and I'm sure the news didn't cover it much anyway.
