Jim, your concerns are very real. Furthermore, we can expect the 14th Amendment (or anything similar) to go out the window.

So, I wake up one morning, and I'm a citizen of the People's Free Zone of Southern Appalachia. Huh? These guys are at my door saying I owe taxes to the Grand Vizier? Who do I talk to? I'm not allowed to criticize anything in public? I didn't vote for...what do you mean I can't leave? I need a visa and a change of residence variance to move to...what the ☠☠☠☠☠ is the Enlightened Duchy of Tallahassee?

I can scarcely imagine a more unpleasant scenario. Bonus question: who manages and coordinates national defense when China and Russia catch wind of this?

Hey, at least I don't have to wait 10 months for a Form 4. So, there's that.
