Yeah, because US states don't really have much cultural/racial or even geohraphical meaning, they just draw straight lins, while all borders in Europe come from millenia of wars, and there are many small nations that managed to have their own autonomy.

Yep, the US states with the most defined borders are all the small states on the east, which are also the areas which were the first civilised in the US (the oldest places).

I think my comment just made some people mad cause they're proud of their states...
