would you move there? What would you expect the laws of this nation to be? What would you expect life in this nation to be like? What sorts of freedoms would you be allowed, and conversely, what freedoms would you part with in order to conform to the laws of this nation?

Well, so far, I haven't seen any substantive answers to your question. And it is rather interesting.
People like the mother above seem to think the "good old days" were somehow more moral, wholesome and safer than our own times. The ding-dong who said we need to go back to origins before "liberals" screwed stuff up is simply uninformed and biased.
Folk, please read a little serious history.
The US was NOT founded as a "Christian" country. The "good old days" were hard, rough, brutal, and pretty dirty. "Morals" in those days usually meant some nasty prunes looking down their noses at about everything and causing rather more harm than good - while other parts of society were not as "moral" as people thought. And hypocrisy was rampant in religion then, as it is now. And "traditional family values" as often meant keeping daughters ignorant, favoring boys, no sex education at all (a DISASTER!), molestation of children, physical abuse of children, and too many other ills to list.
I'd still like to see someone take time and think, and lay out theirn serious ideas. I might hate the answer's content, but I'd be glad someone took the trouble to do it.

In a very short amount of time they would need more land, considering their views on responsible reproduction.
I'd like to send them there but, as I said, they would be back forcing people to conform to them.
Peace.
Good question.

Look, I already live in a state that tried to secede once. I don't like it that we tried the first time, I won't be a party to it the second time.

Hush, don't give them ideas! I live in Missouri, and I'd probably have to move if there started to be another Confederacy. I've only just gotten settled in here, so give me a break!

The Donkey is perfectly correct, but give them bloody Kansas anyway, it is the single most useless and backwards state already.

I'd expect that that nation would need foreign aid within a few years, like virtually every other theocracy on this planet.

Good question! Star for you!
Although, I do hope you realize that not everyone who wants God back in our public forums is not "Evangelical"...just very sad and disturbed at the trend we see society taking.
Just as a "for instance", not-so-many-years-ago, my then-teenaged daughter haughtily informed me that it was "modern times", and I couldn't "put a chastity belt back on the world".
Since then, she has married, and given birth to two beautiful little girls...and suddenly, "chastity belts" are, at least for her, very much "back in style".
As a responsible parent, her perspective has changed drastically, since her concern for her little girls has brought back "ancient morality" and she has joined those of us "still living in a Victorian Age"....
Maybe you can understand where she is coming from?
And if you can...maybe you can also understand our horror at things like school shootings, the outrageous numbers of abortions, the increase in teen drug use, etc, etc, etc...ad nauseaum?
What we want is not necessarily a "theocracy"...but to have Christian morality back in place, if you please...or even if you don't please!!
Without traditional family values, we are afraid that our country is doomed...

No, I wouldn't. I have no particular desire to live under a theocracy run by human beings.
