What would happen if an American city decided it no longer wanted to be part of its assigned state? Could it just leave? Could it join up with a different state? Could it become its own nation?? That's (kind of) what happened in the tiny village of Winneconne in central Wisconsin, circa July of 1967! Sarah & Joe, having just returned from a brief visit to the cheese empire, delve into the wacky aspects of city secession, appointing a new cabinet, designing a national flag, and annexing nearby towns. Along the way, they discuss potentially leading the charge to have their building secede from the city of Chicago, which historical figure Sarah most resembles, and the differences between the village of Bainbridge, NY and the town of Bainbridge, NY. Sexy, exciting geography packed episode!
