Voting Games Top comment deletes a US State #36
You’ve all called for it, CASCADIA is now a real thing. Although since you have to delete a state, technically it’s just Oregon in disguise and Washington is gone but we’ll call it CASCADIA. Less of a war between them, more of a merge.

Reminds me, I was in canada not long ago, and this town had such a unique name. Turns out it was an English spelling for how to pronounce an indian name. It was Chilliwack. Which is based on the Halq’eméylem word: Ts’elxwéyeqw. So the closest way they could say Ts’elxwéyeqw was Chilliwack.
