The ‘Yes California’ independence campaign, led by a Russian-backed eccentric, deserves a firm ‘no’ vote. The Irish Republican Socialist party and Sinn Fein still dream of a unified Irish republic. The Catalan Solidarity for Independence coalition would see the Estelada flag raised over an independent Estat Català, and there are independence-minded movements as far-flung as the western Sahara. The Uhuru Movement is a kind of separatist movement standing on its head, looking to transcend national borders (with their colonial histories) and unite African people in a single African identity. The United States has the Texas Nationalist Movement hoping to restore the Republic of Texas, and somewhere out there is a very committed fellow who believes himself to be the rightful king of Hawaii. There is a more plausible movement for an independent Puerto Rico and a much less plausible movement for an independent California. All of these have something in common.

Russians.

Weird, right?

Weird is right.  But, who knows, could be.

Roman Genn used Shervin Pishevar's NCR flag, but I think the Fallout original would be better...

CalExit Secession Movement Dies the Way It Lived: Stupidly
Organizer decides he wants to continue to live in Russia.

Scott Shackford|Apr. 18, 2017 12:15 pm

California flagWelcomia / Dreamstime.comOne notably bizarre, disorganized push to turn California into its own country is dead—at least for now. Its leader, Louis J. Marinelli, announced that he is canceling the petition and pulling up stakes. While he said he believed in the struggle for California's independence "from the United States so we could build the kind of country that reflects our progressive values," he has decided on a new path.

He's decided he'd rather live in Russia, which is not exactly famous for its progressiveness.

Lee Harvey fell for the propaganda and moved to Russia too.
