Not really a secessionist movement, but--  some ecologists have seriously
suggested that much of the upper midwest (ND, SD, Kansas, Nebraska et al)
should be abandoned and allowed to revert (with help) to its original state.
The "Prairie Commons" movement.  Essentially, give it back to the Indians
and the buffalo-- and Citibank's credit-card HQ in Sioux Falls.  Of course,
the residents don't think much of the idea, even though natural depopulation
is taking place anyway.
