Vermont Republic
In May 2008, Feral House published Thomas Naylor's book "Secession: How Vermont and all the Other States Can Save Themselves from the Empire". Author Kirkpatrick Sale wrote the foreword. In the book he writes about diplomat George F. Kennan being "a major source of inspiration for the Second Vermont Republic." A 2010 "Time" magazine article quoted Naylor as describing the Second Vermont Republic as "left-libertarian, anti-big government, anti-empire, antiwar, with small is beautiful as our guiding philosophy".
