I think you’re asking about secession, and at what point that becomes necessary?
Texas threatens this every decade or so. The problem is that any individual states outside of New York and California would not be able to subsist. These two states because they have massive economies and are coastal, others because they are landlocked between.
The first order of business down this road is finding legal ways to stop the flow of money from these states to the federal government and starving them, which will invariably destroy the country as a whole.
I mean both of these micronations do claim to have seceded from the nations that surround them. And unless you’re thinking of starting a micronation in one of the few remaining terrae nullius, i.e. land so shit that no one wants it, secession is a necessary part of building a new nation.
IMO nationalism is a way for weirdos to roleplay as important people and isn’t really a serious solution for anything. Micronations are just a pitiful facsimile of that. Like even people who like states see micronations as not worth recognizing.

It’s complicated.
I don’t mean secession - I mean like a micronation like Molossia or Austenasia, for example

Any state would have to secede first.
