    Would you like to see your region to secede from the greater nation?

    This means that it could be your state(Texas?)/province(Ontario?)/territory(Western Australia)/country(Wales?), city(Berlin?)/county(Northumberland?), bioregion(Siberia?)/cultural region(Confederate South?)/historical region(Kurdistan?).

    Inspired by the many secessionist referendums and the like this year (Scotland, Catalonia, Venice, West Papua and Crimea), your region may be next to be shook by the separatist breeze.

    Would you like to see your region secede? Why or why not?

    Depends on if power continues to consolidate to the capital or if it starts to be relinquished back among the states. Short answer no, but time will tell. It's hard to tell what the future will bring.

    Ottawa is not a province, it is a city. In fact, I would be surprised if it were to separate from Canada since it is our national capital.

    Meanwhile, there is a huge separatist movement in the French-speaking Canadian province of Québec who once voted 51% against sovereignty and we currently are in elections with this topic as a major issue.

    There's stranger movements. There's movements to secede England from the United Kingdom and take London with them.

    Franconia secede from Bavaria, yeah..... i vote for that....
    Not gonna happen though... The Bavarian govt has too much of a stranglehold on the region, since the outcome would be devastating for Bavaria in overall. It would drastically decrease Bavaria's influence on national political level over time.
    Advantage for Franconia? The subsidies coming from the federal government would finally go to Franconia in a just manner. While the actual situation is, that the Bavarian govt plays favoritism with Munich and the state of upper bavaria.

    So in other words, the same as every other Canadian election.

    Why would any region outside of London actually want to take London -with them- when they succeed?

    That just seems counter-productive.

    Also to answer the original question; yes, yes I would.

    Bavaria isn't a nation. It would be secession from the entire German nation to form your own nation. What you're talking about is splitting German states, which is similar to the Jefferson state movement over here to create a state out of Southern Oregon and Northern California, or Lincoln state or Superior, ect.

    I added region as a possibility for smaller states, ect. So, you could vote for New England to be a nation.

    Not very savvy with your history... I might be wrong now.. But didn't you form the UK?
    I mean you as in England? If I am not mistaken, how can you secede from what you've created in the first place? Wouldn't the correct move be to dissolve the UK, from an English stance I mean...

    Like I said, I am very flawed with British history...

    I think the idea is to make England its own nation, leaving Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales to lead the rest of the union for them.

    It was the Scots who came up with the idea of the UK, well it was a Scottish king at least.

    That depends, on where we'd secede to and why. Def not under the arms of the Russian army there to ensure a "snicker" fair vote...

    I still stick to what I said....
    Splitting from Bavaria, and a small portion from a couple other states would translate into the 5th largest German state.
    You need to know the background too though....... Franconia doesn't belong to Bavaria per se.....
    It was traded in by Napoleon Bonaparte after he conquered it to the Bavarian's in return for military support from Bavaria. But before that, we've had nothing to do with Bavaria. So yep..... we want our freedom back lol

    Thank you, now I am a bit smarter again. Here I was thinking the UK was what came out in the end, after everyone got tired getting bitch slapped around by the English, finally giving in and accept the rule of the English Kings.

    Step 1. Move many Canadians to desirable northern states.
    Step 2. With Canadians in place, start referendum.
    Step 3. Annex the US North-East!
    Step 4. Cold Sam Adams is the new Canadian province of Massachusetts.

    I'd rather dissolve the US, reform it into 4-5 separate countries, but have something like the EU (but better, of course) to keep them from fighting and to maintain an economy between them. Part of the US' problem is that people from different regions have vastly differing beliefs and customs, despite all being the same country. What might be good for California might not fly at all with Ohio, but yet we're under the same federal government, and if the fed passes a law that benefits California but doesn't fly well with Ohio, guess who's gotta sit there and do nothing about it?

    I suppose a good compromise would be to funnel power back to the states in the US and remove power from the federal government, but that'll never happen.
