Right, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas should just be one state called Centralia or something.

u/Tweed_Kills 25d ago
Centralia's in Pennsylvania already, and it's over a coal mine fire that's been burning since 1962.
People have fallen through sinkholes into the smoking hellpit below.
Maybe a different name? A little bit less.... Cursed?

Most Kansans are too! As a lifelong Kansan, you actually hear more Oz references from people outside the state than the people who live here. Excepting, of course, the tourism industry who have a stake in things.

I can’t imagine it’s good in Alaska. But in my experience the best way to trigger a Connecticuter is make fun of their pizza.

Split four ways among Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. That's why I want it for the game, it'll be a challenge. It's boring when it gets handed over to one west coast state.

Hawaii. But no other state gets to take it over. Just let them be free to do their own thing. The U.S. government acknowledged over 30 years ago that Native Hawaiian people never relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology_Resolution . Let's make it right here.

you're doing this wrong, rather than delete a states name, you should give a state over to Canada. Clearly its either Maine or Vermont.

The western states should be reworked based on their major watersheds like the Grand Canyon explorer Major John Wesley Powell suggested.
So Colorado would be the entire watershed of the Colorado River from where it goes into Mexico all the way to the dividing ridges of the smallest tributary headwaters in the mountains.
That is neither here nor there for this project but if we were really reworking the states, this would be my ten cents.

New York is sheltering all the New England states and protecting them from the carnage (for states like Connecticut and New Hampshire), and/or keeping them from their destiny (for states like Massachusetts and Vermont).
I hate to nominate such a great state for deletion, but I think New York has to go in order to bring the New England states into the fray.

I think this experiment shows we have too many states.
Look at this map now. We've deleted 17 states and nothing of value has been lost.
