Oh and check this out for this map thats WAYYYY more thought out and easier to remember (the states AND postal codes) that I literally just did. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z311/adfdfdfadsfsdf/usCities.gif

Wow putting northwest ohio (where I’m from) sounds extremely bad to anyone living here. Our town of Toledo, Ohio should definitely be part of Cincinnati and Columbus, since they are major trading cities with us. If Bayou is a state, then it should include ALL of the Texilouisiana Bayou. And Washington, DC would actually be part of state, which would be catastrophic, in my opinion, for that state would get much more attention etc.

I wonder how the 38 state map would affect the political climate of america. I find it interesting that the three most libertarian states, new hampshire, nevada, and wyoming, got: absorbed by massachussetts, cut into 5, and cut into 4
Don’t get me wrong: I’m all about efficiency, but idk if this would be good for state centered powers.

Looking at the map I am surprised that Pearcy maintained the strange configuration of Michigan in his new state Mackinac. Instead of placing it with the adjoining Superior.

Odd that his idea left that in.

I am intrigued by the 38 state map.

Even though it’ll never happen, when I have a spare moment, I will suggest state capitols. My considerations will be 1) ability to use existing state capitols, thereby cutting costs, and 2) centrality in the new state.

The Chinese map may be slightly out of kilter but doesn’t mean that Chris was the first one here. I mean the east coast was being bombarded by Vikings in the 1000 ADs and the Chinese were on the west coast way before many other explorers. Just where in the hell do you think Marco Polo got his maps from or Chris for that matter? And the Native Indians, they were here long before Chris too, Americans just like to think they know more than anyone else because of their monumental education system!

a neat idea, but speaks volumes about the misunderstanding about the power distribution of our country. the power is IN the states, not the federal government — unless specifically called out in the constitution. redrawing the states would be like redrawing the countries of the European Union.

think about all the state universities…would they all have to change their names? so many signs and stuff…the cost benefit analysis doesn’t look too promising. perhaps if it would’ve gone down in the 70’s it would’ve worked out.

Can anyone explain why real-world Alaska would be divided into Seward and Kodiak? I understand either as being a legitimate name for the state, and why it might be hard to pick between them, but why both? I went back and looked a couple of times, and it didn’t appear as if we’d annexed part of Canada… There aren’t major metro areas to split, either.
