None of the nukes can be used without knowing the codes. The Feds have all the codes. Literally every state could secede and Trump + a few Air Force loyalists would make an example of a few cities before the rest fell in line.

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.

If you're a nation state with physical access to a nuke and not the codes, you can make it go off if you really want to.

while I can definitely see a Mormon-dominated successor state emerging around Utah, I think a lot of that western dark green region is likely to get swallowed by by its neighbors, I don't think its a viable geopolitical entity as you have it laid out and a lot of the more sparsely populated states are going to be desirable acquisitions for their neighbors (oil + nukes in the case of the Dakotas, food security for some of the others)

I would actually kind of like to see California go through with independence just so I could watch the reactions as Californians realized that the US wasn't about to just let them walk away with everything that was in California.

- San Diego would stay in the US as a Hong Kong type territory; lol if you think the US would give up that naval port.
-everyone who works for someone like Northrup Grumman or other military contractors would need to prepare to move to, like, Nevada or find new jobs
-many of them will be suprised that the previous statement also applies to Google and a ton of tech companies
-the realization that the new nation won't be California at all but a Chile-like little sliver of coast since the interior counties are all likely to go "lol gently caress you we're staying in the US"

it would be fun to watch

You're assuming the balkanization would only be California, in the scenario where California declares independence there will almost certainly be other breakaways and a massive collapse of federal power
