Again, my comparison with California was about the no need of little small mini-states within Spain, the same that there is no need for mini-states within California.

If Spain had a central government like California does it will be much more efficient and all Spaniards will be much better off than what they are right now. The autonomous regions are a parasite that has been bringing down Spain since the democracy started.

And again, by definition, a country cannot occupy its own land. There is no occupation in the region of Catalonia as it has always been part of Spain and it will always be part of Catalonia.
