California is a nation unto itself.
We are the smartest and richest subnational region on the plane, not just in the USA, but on the entire planet. Depending on how one counts it, we are richer than every country save for the rest of the USA, China, and Germany.

We are where North Atlantic-Euro Americans, all of the Spanish Main, and all of the Asia Pacific region meets. Again, we are so rich BECUSE of our diversity and we MUST fight back!
