IOTL Vermont was an independent nation from 1777 until 1791 when it would become the 14th state.
How would things change if current Vermont replaced its historical self right at the beginning of the republics founding?
The states current political situation is quite soupy, how would it be reorganized in response to the new situation?
Will it join the burgeoning US and/or aid in its revolution? Or will it take on a more isolationist stance to not rock the boat to much and to retain power?
