In all seriousness though what effect would this have on the US if states started to break away and become independent
Honestly 25 thousand people is not that many people when you look at the population of a state. The Reason it only requires 25k to be acknowledged is because the petition have "smaller" issues in mind as well and needs to be accessible for that.

Hell there was a school in Texas a few months back that was in the news because they had had just built a stadium for their high school football team that could seat 18k people (and cost 60 mil btw).

25k is a drop in the bucket.. Get 50-60% of a State's "confirmed" residents and not just some online signature then we talk.
