Some years ago, I was selected to head the confederacy project. I took over from a guy who had worked on it--some 10 years or so--till his death. I think I was chosen for the work I did in Russia in designing the Russian Federation's current constitution.
Anyway, I've made some in-roads in promulgating the idea. For instance, I'm glad to see that Scotland is still toying with it so as to delineate its relationship to the U.K. through the Commonwealth and even with the E.U. I've urged India and China to break up their nations into smaller nation-states, each dominated by localized cultural and social forces. Of course, the nations colonized by the English around the world form the Commonwealth, an exemplar of how long-lasting these ties can be.
Well, now, I've been working on delineating the nation-states I believe the US could be decomposed into and have come up with three with their respective capitals: Sacramento (where I'm at now), Omaha (where I lived now and again), and Washington, DC (where I've spent months at a time each visit). Actually, these would be regional independent nations, divided among several existing federal states.
I've designed how this would work; and that's about all I've done in the ten years or so I've been assigned to work on the project. It's slow to take shape, but I take it, there's no hurry!
