Oklahoma should be abolished.
Should it join Texas or Kansas?
Actually, this is how I see the problem: the only way for Oklahoma to improve is to abolish state authorities, arrest all hard-core Republicans and expell them to Bakersfield, establish mandatory fat camps and appoint Mechaman as Governor General with absolute powers so he can slowly civilize the area, which should also be renamed to something more fitting.
So, depopulate the entire state, then? (Ironically, you'd be kicking a significant portion of the Native population out too.)
