No worries, glad it was useful.

A suggestion re: the Independent Republic vs remaining in the US...mentioning a Republic of Texas suggests (to me at least) that those behind it want to split from the US and create their own nation. If your group want to hedge their bets so to speak and do their own thing without openly declaring themselves a separatist state it might be better changing a couple of the terms...

For example, Webstral uses SAMAD in his work on Arizona...you could have something like the Southen Texas Military Region (or anything else you fancy - I'll use STMR for the sake of this example) and instead of citizenship you would need valid STMR ID, the criteria to qualify for which are as you any prior citizenship or loyalties to foreign governments, but the emphasis is on foreign...you are not classing the US Government as foreign so those holding STMR IDs are still US Citizens (at this point at least). For point six, just change it to "Must obey the laws of the United States of America and all regulations put in place by STMR or what ever form those organizations may take in the future, for the duration of citizenship"

Nothing particularly changes other than the fact that you're not calling yourself a Republic with all that entails. if, at some point in the future, our group decides they want to go for independence you just announce that the South Texas Military Region will henceforth be known as the Republic of Texas. Then you can open the door to citizenship by stating that anyone holding official STMR ID issued by the relevant authorities will be entitled to citizenship in said Republic. And you can decide whether to allow dual Texan / US nationality (you've already dealt with those holding non US nationality earlier by forcing them to revoke it as a precondition of receiving STMR ID) or whether to only permit those within the Republic to hold Texan citizenship.

If you do go down the above road though I still think you have to get at least the major military units in the State (i.e. 1st Cavary Division) onside first...otherwise what happens when you declare your Republic and the Joint Chiefs in Colorado Springs instruct the Division's Commanding General to deal with your 'revolution'? Again, I'm not aware of the background, so not sure what roles your group play in the campaign?
