If California were to become it's own country tomorrow, Californians would learn how much they also depend on other states.

You don't even have to go further than electricity and water supply to see how much they rely on other states. But I'm sure there's a lot of other areas where they're reliant on other states as well.

Other than the Colorado River, does California depend on other states for water? If California seceded, wouldn't they retain their part of the Colorado River Compact?

Power, I'll grant you. They've been "exporting pollution" by having power plants built in other states for a while now...

Well I would imagine that deal would have to be revisited in light of a secession, no?

That's basically what my point was. Maybe they wouldn't have to, but I imagine they would.
