New California, a proposed US state, is about to declare independence from California which they say "has long been ungovernable".

"The founders of New California took an early step toward statehood Monday with the reading of their own Declaration of Independence from California, a state they describe as "ungovernable." Their solution: Take over most of current-day California — including many rural counties — and leave the coastal urban areas to themselves. "The current state of California has become governed by a tyranny," the group, led in part by vice chairman Robert Paul Preston, declared in a document published online. The split would look something like this, per the group: "After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono-party politics the State of California and many of it’s 58 Counties have become ungovernable,"" - Yahoo news

They for sure went too far with the territory. What do you think about New California? I don't like it, since I'm against this kind of separatism.
