NYC is really 5 counties aggregated into a single city, so Staten island could conceivably split with the rest of the city -- and tried in the 1990s. NY State killed the idea, so there it is and will probably always be.

California could become 5 or 6 states and each might could easily be larger in population than most of the current states. In fact, I think the argument for California and Texas are both strong, but I doubt it will happen in either state.
