      That would be the fairest way to do it, of course, but there would be some poetic justice in making it proportional to the seceding state’s electoral vote weight.

        I think there’s some states that should take that deal. North Dakota has a $22b strategic reserve and would only owe ~$75b as a share of it’s national debt. It could turn itself into a cold, shale oil, Dubai.
