The USA isn't on that list either... Neither of the last 2 attempts were peaceful. If it was a secession, and then a war between the 2 new countries, why didn't the countries stay divided after the north won?USA vs Britain... same story, opposite ending.. The seceding entity won that war, and therefore won their independence. I don't think Texasopia has the military might to take on the rest of the country... jus sayin'
