Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

Can the rest of the west coast join you and embargo the US cutting them off from easy access to the pacific? Also seize all naval assets based on the west coast thus having nukes and a large navy.
