What is Let's Split?

First of all, I should tell you that ''Let's Split'' is a book

It is a 636-page atlas of separatism, national identity, fringe geopolitical movements, and a baleful cry from oppressed minority populations.

The book is put together with the obsessive care of an eccentric Victorian explorer documenting each step of his journey through uncharted lands, never stopping to discern between the observed real and the observed surreal. But Roth is no Victorian, he’s an anthropologist who’s worked with indigenous peoples in Canada and Alaska for governmental recognition and rights. Let’s Split! began life in 2011 as a blog that Roth maintains titled Springtime of Nations.

The idea of a nation-state is relatively new in the spectrum of development of human societies. But everyone can interpret this term as a different way. A lot of people have been identifyed by a nation-state during centuries. But dure to the globalization effect, most people feel as a part of the World State. Perhaps ''Let's Split'' book is a tool for everyone for understanding that we live in a diverse world, where nations are simply entities that work together for developing a future for society. MicroNations and independentist movements are tools for developing this diverse world.

Chris Roth is the writer of the book ''Let's Split''.
