    No, the US GDP is about $30T and China is second with about $20T. California GDP is just over $4T, so the US would probably need to lose several other states too before being overtaken by China, though those states would be a solid #3 over Germany, assuming they left as a bloc.

      As a Californian my top cessation concerns would be

      1. Water
      2. Manufacturing expertise is mostly in other states
      3. Physical security from Confederates (California has a huge amount of military infrastructure from WW2)
