Not quite. California was the California Republic before it became a state. This is immortalized on their flag.remington79 wrote:They're pretty active on Facebook. They hold a festival every summer called Porc Fest with a porcupine as the mascot. There is even a real estate agent associated with the movement and they have a moving guide. They also have a housing and a job page on Facebook.
On another note I had seen a similar movement but instead of New Hampshire the focus was on Wyoming. I forget the name of that movement. A little known fact is that Vermont is the only other state to be its own republic.
Also the state of Utah tried to be the Country of Deseret before the federal government sent troops in to quash their effort.
