Explore The Vision
What would it mean to build an independent California — not just in theory, but in practice?
This page connects three layers of that question:
Is independence viable?
What paths could we take if it is?
What kind of country do we want to become?
Each section below introduces a document that explores one of these layers in depth. Together, they outline the structural choices, policy challenges, and long-term vision that Californians must consider on the road to self-determination.
Is California Independence Viable?
The California National Viability Brief analyzes whether independence is legally, economically, and logistically possible. It explores everything from budget and borders to defense and diplomacy — and concludes that independence is viable through a peaceful, negotiated process.
What Happens After Viability?
Once we know independence is possible, the next question is: What kind of country could we become? The Beyond Viability document lays out potential systems of governance, economic models, social programs, and international strategies — the options Californians would need to consider.
