There's a movement where I'm from that wants the Pacific Northwest states plus British Columbia to split off into a country called Cascadia. Barring some terrible disaster, I highly doubt that's ever going to happen in the near future.

Maybe in some distant future where things are very different, but it's not realistic right now.
