<span>1. California does not deserve a seat in the United Nations. </span>
<span>2. The UN is only for nations; people in California are US citizens; they do not have a culture nor a culture that is exclusive to the rest of the US. In this sense, California is not a nation. (this is the definition of a nation bit.) </span>

California (states in general) does not have the power to enter into treaties with foreign countries, nor regulate commerce with foreign countries.

I guess states governments would also fit into here somewhere. </span>
