States that seem like pairs

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

I get why a lot of people associate New Jersey with New York, but I actually couple New Jersey with Connecticut: both wealthy suburban states whose politics (and not only) is heavily defined by containing many suburbs of New York City.

Arizona and Colorado

They don't even have a border that is more than a mile long. I'd say New Mexico is to Colorado and Arizona is to California.

They don't have a border at all, actually. They touch at one single point (Four Corners).
