FACT: The highest point in the state of North Dakota is called "White Butte".
FACT: hahaha
FACT: In 1934 North Dakota Governor William "Wild Bill" Langer, upon being removed from office by the state Supreme Court, locked himself in the governor's mansion, declared martial law, and declared North Dakota independent.
Obviously, this didn't stick long, or more accurately at all anywhere outside of the man's office. But what if it had!? Not necessarily due to this Langer incident, that dude was clearly batshit and obviously his career was ruin- what? He was re-elected in 1936? North Dakota. Come on, guys.
Anywho, here's the challenge: Make North Dakota, with a POD past its 1889 admission to the Union, secede and become an independent nation - in reality, not just some crazy dude's bullshit - for however long. Can North Dakota leave in a South Carolina type situation, hoping other states will follow? Sure. Can it leave as part of a general US collapse? Okay. But make it first! Let's make North Dakota a trendsetter in something besides high speed limits!
