What proportion of California residents supported creation of a bioregion and proposed country in western region of North America.
Partition and secession in California California, the most populous state in the United States and third largest in area, has been the subject of more than 220 proposals to divide it into multiple states since its admission to the United States in 1850 including at least 27 significant proposals in the first 150 years of statehood. In addition, there have been some calls for the secession of certain states or large regions in the American West (such as the proposal of Cascadia) which often include parts of Northern California. One-third of California residents in a 2016–2017 poll supported peacefully seceding from the United States, up from 20% since 2014.

The Vancouverian Province comprises the coastal part of the region for its entire length, including the Pacific Coast Ranges, and the Rocky Mountain Province includes the Rocky Mountains and associated ranges.
