If the fire sale includes the people why would you want it back?
And why would you want to split it up, potentially giving them MORE votes in the senate and electoral college?
I assume you're question is for priusron. If the land came with the people who voted to leave I wouldn't want it back at all.
You are correct. And like someone above mentioned...this is all just a fun thought exercise. None of it will actually happen.

Would San Francisco be part of the new northern state? Keep in mind, liberals tend to congregate around higher population density areas. I'm personally good with their electoral votes getting spread out among the remaining 49 states, with Texas picking up the lions share considering it would make us the #1 most populated state in the country.
