[QUOTE="Archaeopteryx, post: 62040152, member: 194332"] That doesn't really address the question though. Recall that you secede from the state, not the government, and in doing so become your own state with its own government. How do you go about no longer receiving the benefits of the state that your household just seceded from? Do you stop using [I]their[/I] roads? They aren't your roads anymore. If so, how do you conduct trade? Presumably trade would be important in a small landlocked state like yours (I'm assuming you don't have your own port). What about defence? You are no longer entitled to police protection, but if you live in a safe neighbourhood your state is still likely to benefit from the safety provided by the police (whose services you are no longer paying for). How do you go about ensuring that you no longer receive that benefit? [/QUOTE]
