            Splitting up California would only prove to weaken the region as a whole. Sure you may gain a couple senators and college votes but theres no guarantee that the resulting states would be economically solvent. You could just end up with a bunch of Mississippi type states, also a good chunk of California is quite conservative.

            Combining the Northern states has far clearer advantages both politically and economically. Namely it would allow a better spread of taxes.
