Almost all the states are large enough, and have enough people, to become independent nations. If this were to happen -- say the US federal government were completely abolished -- America would become more like Europe, which is a bunch of small, independent countries united only by common needs, such as economic and defense requirements. Each state would control its own borders and have its own military, most of which would not be active but would be on-call in the event of emergencies. I don't know that this would be such a bad thing, if it were to happen, so long as a central control like the European Union was never allowed to develop. For example, if you live in Kentucky, you could take a foreign vacation by going to Tennessee. Every state would have its own economy, it's own money supply, its own national bank. California would need to be broken into two or three countries. The little itsy-bitsy states in the Northeast would have to band together into one country.
America would become more like Europe
America is more like Europe due to the (((EU))) and the federal government than it should be. The 10th was supposed to keep it completely distinct 50 (13) states (countries).

Do you think that's coincidence?
