I rarely hear about the state of Jefferson splitting apart from California. But I hear of the more popular way to split CA is make the state line from North CA and Southern CA is where Monterey is at. and distupte between norcal and Socal is over Water rights from the Delta in Sacramento County and Solano county.

@DjKaiserCharles I heard of Shasta county was supposed to be part of Jefferson the day after Pearl Harbor attacks

I currently live in Jacksonville, Oregon, but I would love to see the State of Jefferson spring up between the 39th and 44th parallel (just north of Sacramento to just south of Eugene), and from longitude 120 west to the ocean. We'd have the tallest trees, the deepest lake, and more beautiful scenery than any two other states in the union. (If I did the math right, that would give us just over 2 million Jeffersonians, and three seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

@highestking2010 You must be from Europe. It would probably be more accurate to say "Government is the solution... the FINAL solution." lol

@garykpdx

For me it would be A. In the south it's very flat, lots of big cities, very latin influenced culture. Up here it's mountains and farms. We just identify more with the Pacific NW than soutern Cali. Placer County I would call the cultural line, but that is opinion and easily disputed.

@PsypherDeus my state is almost as bad. thirty countys are hard core staunch conservative (85% if the state geographically) and three counties are hard core staunch liberal commie sympathisers. the problem is the commies have 52% of the population. to our 48%. i was hoping boeing would move their head quarters to texas. so they would leave and we could have our state back. but now that they got the contract for those tankers i dont think that will happen any time soon. god bless

@amyhuk Thanks, I appreciate it. There is a lot to hate in California and a lot to love. Just lerarn to hate correctly. And now that Gov moon Beam is our Governor pray for us as well.
