Dad map jokes, here have an upvote.

Compared to these, my state (Colorado) just seems mid.

Not completely incorrect.

Shouldn't Pennsylvania and Ohio be included? They're still near the top of the US.

Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, New York, and Maine are all both top states to live in and bottom states to live in.

So, basically, as far away from Texas and Florida as possible. (I live in Florida, but I'm not mad.)

That's 13.

Soon as I saw Idaho I almost bit The Onion on this one so to speak.

In absolutely no particular order as they are all equally valid and awesome, the twelve best "states" (they're called provinces guys...) are

Newfoundland Nova Scotia PEI New Brunswick Quebec Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia Yukon territory And the province formerly know as the northwest territories

(Those provinces now being Northwest Territory and Nunavut for a total of 13, but for the purposes of this question we're putting it under that umbrella )

Canada, fuck yeah

If Alaska qualifies, Hawaii should also qualify.
