A free Atlanta sate of just Atlanta with a Hardline NAACP bent (think 
Mugabe) would quickly starve. Much of the real industry is outside 
the perimeter in the largely middle and upper class areas. Further, 
it would, if it went like I think you're describing, go more towards 
a Down Town Atlanta and South Atlanta "Atlanta Free State with some 
portions of eastern Atlanta (Near I20 south to I285).
