Sure why not. I propose hell as the location.

utah would be good

Sure, if they wanted a Crusade from the rest of Protestants

Honestly, if the US ever splits up, I'd support a Mormon Utah Nation.

Yeah I think I would prefer to live there. They would be the Swiss of balkanized America.

I mean, Mormon religion is nuts, but it promotes good virtues and is held by good people.
I'd convert.

Brah, they had their own Kingdom in the middle of Lake Michigan, but they lost it because pissed off the locals and the Navy dared one of them to cap the King in the head and the mad-man actually did it:

They got rekt'd so hard they had to go hide in the desert to prevent the United States Navy ever reaching them again, that's how hard they got rekted.

the U S of A would never allow it
