The US is one of the only countries I know if in the world that doesn't decide issues like that on a national basis, even those with federal systems and state or provincial-level governments. A more controversial notion is that 200 years into this experimental grouping of former colonies and territories, perhaps we are more a nation after all, than a collection of small fiefdoms determined each to go its own way whenever possible. Our culture and norms are more and more homogenized along with our shopping, culture, entertainment, curricula, etc. I won't get much support for that notion but I think that 50 years from now, people will look back on the idea of states going their own way and dismiss it as an anachronism.
