For too long the "trolls" under the bridge have dominated the politics in this great state. The government of this State of Michigan in no way reflects the values of this our great state of SUPERIORLAND! Yes, citizens I am renewing the call for secession from this state of Michigan. As citizens of Superiorland we understand that the Upper peninsula has a unique cultural heritage that is separate and distinct from those people that live under the bridge.

Q&A: "Superior" or "Superiorland"

Many readers have commented that original calls for secession called for the creation of a state called "Superior", not "Superiorland". The SISU (Support Independence for SUperiorland) movement recognizes that previous attempts at statehood have been made but also points out that these attemps were half-hearted and not really serious. To continue to advocate for "Superior" state would only marginalize the SISU movement.

SISU has a plan. A plan that will allow Superiorland to suceed where Superior did not. We will roll out this plan in stages and take public comment from fellow SISU members.

Will this be a violent succession? Because if so, I'm in.

I don't think it makes any difference what the name would be. The big thing is that the people have to really back their cause and work for their new state. I mean, the name could be Northeast Wisconsin and it could become a state if the people really fight for it (not really physically, Angry Engineer).

Though I think Superiorland sounds like one of those fantasy worlds, and Superior more real

State Superior (like Lake Superior) is a far superior title; Superiorland sounds like a ride it Disneyland

Antimony as the 51st element (for the 51st state) might have been a good state mineral, but it in no way matches copper as the state mineral. Mannerheim House may be a good name for any future State Assembly.

Promotional "tat" like t-shirts with "State Superior", the state flag (maybe incorporating a Scandinavian off-centre cross etc) on a copper colored T-shirt could be sold on lime and at local stores.

Using the term "Scandimerican" to describe the culture and ethnicity of the surrounding Great Lake populations (as compared to "Afro-American" or "Hispano-American" or whatever phrase Latinos use).

Hope this has been a worth while contribution of an outsider from Lanashire, England?

Sorry some stupid typo errors on last post.

Should read: LANCASHIRE England
Should read: ride AT Disneyland
Should read: sold on-LINE

Otherwise, good luck with campaign
