Silicon Valley would be a stupid name for a state.
Especially since it includes a whole bunch of land that isn't silicon valley. The other four names show a lack of creativity.
What is the logic behind the Jefferson/Northern California split? I've always known the upper North has wanted to secede because it feels silenced by the Bay Area liberals, but it would probably still be a GOP state if those two merged.
The area marked as Jefferson would be the population of Montana. Totally ridiculous.
Also the names are poor.
North as Jefferson is fine, Central California should be called Sierra, Silicon Valley should be Northern California and then West/South should be merged, since there's very literally different culturally about them and be Southern California.
More likely than not it's the same thing as a gerrymander, only taken to the extreme. It's just a very, very bad gerrymander for a really, really stupid idea.
