Agreed, secession is a very positive trend. I believe that there is a correlation between the geographical size of a polity and its degree of repressiveness. Also, the more different jurisdictions the easier it is to "vote with ones' feet" and escape repressive laws. Liechtenstein, Andorra, San Marino, and Monaco, are among the freest and richest countries in Europe. I wrote about the micro states of Europe about a year ago: http://www.morality2.com/morality2/europes-microstates-showing-us-the-future-of-europe.html

Upvoted, followed, and resteemed.

Definitely! A thousand micro-states in Europe would be like the Freedom Renaissance - I get excited just thinking about it:-)

Thank you for the resteem, very appreciated!

The difficulty with secession is that, on one hand, the decentralization aspect is great, but on the other hand, many people will want to stay united with other people in the country. As libertarians, we'll have to respect that too. However, most of those people will also want to not let people secede.

Difficult stuff.

I like the map btw!

Yes, very difficult. But, I believe that if secession is granted to everyone, we could have situations like Kaliningrad & Russia. Same country, but not the same land. In Croatia, a small town in Bosnia & Herzegovina actually splits the country apart. If people can tolerate a little bit of mess, we could have a lot of freedom!

Everyone else can do as they please as long as they do not try to include me within their collective against my will. I've seceded and declared myself king of me, myself, and I! ;-)

Awesome! Definitely, if someone seceded me away from an entity I wanted to be a part of, I would expect the same right of secession from them.
