History since independence. A few sentences will do. Following the collapse of the U.S, the Governors of four states (one Northern, three mid-western) sent Delegates to St. Paul, Minnesota in order to "Restore Government, and provide peace and prosperity".

The Delegates debated long and hard, yet decided to simply 'recycle' the U.S's constitution. With one delegate saying "If it aint broken, don't fix it". The Constitution, unlike the delay its predecessor faced, was swiftly passed by Congress and ratified, with Congress elections being held post haste. '

Once seated, members of both Houses, as well as the Pres., decided it would start the nations sovereignty of on the right note, and quickly passed an act streamlining the government, returning tax rates to Clinton era levels ,Regulations to FDR era levels, and creating a plan to pay off the debt of the old US, yet, also granting tax breaks to small business's, recognizing their importance to new nation.

The Secretary of the Treasury acts as de facto chair of the Nation Deficit Oversight Board (BOND), the board set up by Congress to pay help pay the debt.

Not all the way out to Wyoming. The Dakotas, Iowa, and Wisconsin, perhaps. Or, just stick with the Dakotas and Iowa.
