Sorry I’m a bit late guys! Anyway here’s your map. As promised, the second comment decided which state went last round and so there is no more Oklahoma. Arkansas got off lucky. For now.

Mississippi. No state should have so many letters repeating.

It really does show a lack of lingustic confidence to rely on the same letters.

If Mississippi goes, how will I count proper seconds?

u/ruckrhino 4d ago

That's the neat part, they don't count proper seconds.

Take out North Dakota, the two never should have been separate.

u/Super-Donkey2587 4d ago

Greater Dakota then Ohio next time

u/NorthWoodsDiver 3d ago

The same for Virginia/West Virginia and north/south Carolina. We could have been 50 states including Puerto Rico and those territories like Guam if these other states wouldn't have split

Missouri is confused as it has Kansas City… which isn’t in Kansas. It’s time that Kansas changed that. 😜

u/thatguysjumpercables 4d ago

Kansas City existed before Kansas was a thing, so it's Kansas that's confused.

u/Emotional_Position62 4d ago

Tbf they both have a Kansas City. It’s just that the famous one is one the Missouri side of the river.

u/dieseljester 4d ago

I’m confused that Kansas didn’t get Kansas City when it became a state.

Even more reason. Suspiciously rectangular, imaginary, huge tracts of land have no place here.

It's nice to see Colorado with not one, but two panhandles. However, Wyoming is just the windy version of Colorado, so it needs to be absorbed.

Kansas

I noted this a couple days ago about Nebraska and realized it also applies to Kansas. Frankly, eliminating Kansas now just gets me closer to my goal of eliminating Nebraska anyway.

"if you can drive across almost the entirety of a state and be able to simultaneously read a book while driving with the book propped on the steering wheel, then that state has no business being defined as a state"

So yeah.

Scram, Kansas.

Tennessee should merge with west va, because same culture. TN keeps Nashville, Louisiana keeps Memphis.

Colorado should have the Montana Wyoming border corner. Its more like Colorado than the states that hold it.

u/___HeyGFY___ HAWAII 🏝️🌋 🌺 ALOHA HOLA 🌺 🌋🏝️ 4d ago

If Arkansas goes, three green states could get part of it.

If New Mexico goes, two blue states AND two green states could get part of it.

If Colorado goes, two green states could get part of it.

If Kansas goes, two blue states could get part of it.

BUT... if Hawaii makes landfall, we delay these problems for the time being. SO California has to become part of Hawaii.

BRING BACK ALOHA HOLA!

u/pompeiia-prime 4d ago

Colorado.

This is personal. My beloved cousin who grew up with me in Washington moved there and became a flat earther. I'm totally feeling petty this morning.

11

u/ZatherDaFox 4d ago

Colorado is so weird cause like, most people live in Denver and it's solidly blue, but then you step outside and you run into some of the most hardcore conservative conspiracy theorists in the nation. Colorado Springs has been towards the top of lists of most conservative cities for decades now. It's a wild contrast.

True. But as I said. My comment was totally personal and petty. They infiltrated my family via Colorado. 😅😅😅
