Residents of Floxas notice no change.

You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won't be able to remember them otherwise

Split it along the time zones instead. Less states and simpler administration. Washington DC can be its own time zone just to mess with people.

I feel like idiota would be overcrowded

Floxas made me lol

I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

Alascanada?

Hawacuba?

Utucky

No u.

There's precedence in Connecticut history

Americans are so dumb when it comes to timezones we could just assign Maintana to GMT+5, Washconsin GMT+6 and so on downwards. It wouldn't make any difference to them and it'd be a lot more fun for the rest of us.

True story: "The meeting is at 1500 EDT". "Your state is currently on EST so if I turn up at the specified time I'll be an hour late. Are you sure it's 1500 EDT and not 1500 EST?" "Yes, definitely 1500 EDT". /me turns up at 1500 EDT to find the meeting has already finished.

I misread IDOTA as IDIOTA.

Maintana most beautiful state

Fuck that. The Northeast created this country and we're not gonna be erased.

As a resident of Floxus, I propose we make the creeping phlox our state flower.

(It smells like rotting skunk.)

It's not actually all that differently stupid.

I feel for Louisiana getting lumped into Floxas, run by the mutant abomination AbbSantis.

Flower petal distribution.

Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.

If Dr Suess was in charge of naming the states:

Which sports team am I supposed to root for with this map? Do you expect me to make a careful analysis of team history and current lineup? Or do I pick the one in the state I was born in like a normal person?

Bullshit. I just moved from Oklahoma to California to escape the hell hole that is that backwards ass state and I'm not reincorporating.

Floxas gonna absolutely kill at college football

What's the timezone in Missorado and also historians will debate if that was eldorado just so you know.

Sounds more like a new line up of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of those suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute narcissism

I especially like IDiOTA

Also

America's borders

USA borders.

Could they at least be an alphabetical order!
