In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election results, multiple Californians and untold numbers of Americans demanded California's immediate secession for the United States of America. We the people ask that this process be streamlined under these terms.

1. All dissenting Californians must be allowed repatriation into the union, the cost of the legal transition must be paid solely by California.



2. All dissenting Californians must be financially compensated by the Californian taxpayer, for the full cost of their home, their moving expenses, and they must be given 5 years salary to keep them afloat when they move back to america.



3. Besides legal relocation of american citizens, there will be no freedom of movement between the new Californian state and the United States. All border crossings will be treated like a foreigner travelling to the United States. The United States has the right to create a blanket ban on all Californian immigration, when and how it sees fit. Conversely, all american citizens are allowed freedom of movement in the Californian state, and are bound solely by the laws of the United States, not the Californian state. If any american commits a crime in California they will be sent back to the United States for trial, the cost of such transfer paid for by California. If the charges are found to be without merit, California will pay for all the legal proceedings.

4. California will hereafter pay the United States a monthly defense stipend, California being in the direct US sphere of influence and de facto protectorate of the United States. California is free to create their own military, if they are able to man it with able bodied xer, but they must still pay the stipend to the United States. The United States also has no binding duty to defend the Californian state, once it is in war. However, if the United states should enter into a state of war California may be used to house US military facilities and troops for both strategic and practical purposes, until said war is concluded.



5. All natural Californian reserves, both discovered and undiscovered, shall be split equitably between the Californian state and the United States, according to current need and demand, and adjusted for any future need and demand when and if that need and demand increases on the part of the United States.



6. California will cede all claims on the western coast, and all waters therein, which will henceforth become the rightful property of the government of the United States. Use of these waters by the Californian state will be allowed on a conditional basis, and for a usage stipend which will be paid by the Californian state to the United States. The usage of these waters by the Californian state can and will be revoked when and if the United States desires it to be so.



7. California will enter into no foreign alliances, or trade agreements, or wars, nor any diplomatic status with foreign governments without the express consent of the government of the United States.



8. California will impose no tariff or trade agreement that would be directly detrimental to the United States. The United States will in effect be California's main concern when it comes to importing and exporting.



9. California will hereafter renounce all claim to legal representation under the United States Constitution, including the right to be represented in any and all US federal elections.



10. Californians will continue to pay federal income taxes to the United States government, in perpetuity, so as not to inconvenience the mother state which it has abandoned.



11. California will pay a monthly separation stipend, for abandoning the union which it voluntarily entered, in perpetuity.



12. If any or all of these measures are not respected, the separation of the Californian state will be declared null and void, and will be treated as a legal US state in rebellion, at which point it will be occupied by the United States government, and treated as a federally governed territory with no voting rights in any federal election, up to and until the United States government sees fit to restore its full status as a state of the United States.
