Why to stay in France ?

"It is absolutely characteristic that no one of the countries which were annexed by France from  1792 to 1812 feel any need to come back under the wings of the [imperial] eagle. They appropriated the fruits of the first French revolution, but do not have the wish to endure the rigourous administrative centralisation, the prefect system, the infallibility of the Civilisation Apostles sent from Paris".
F. Engels, Savoyen, Nizza und die Rhein, Berlin, 1860

The annexation of Savoy by France, since 1860, is not legitimate.
But, despite all, is not it more interesting for Savoy to remain as a part of France ?

The result of the annexation of Savoy by France is, in fact, disastrous :

A cultural disaster

A social disaster

An economical disaster

An environmental disaster

A structural disaster
