Gerrymandering the States

Oh boy

I created some a few years ago just for 'fun', and I just created one now

The 3 I made before removed some, and the one today has 50 states

The one I made today:



And the ones I made before (they're all big ones, so these are thumbnails ):

Did you make Long Island part of Connecticut?!?!?!

This is not my own original idea, but I thought it related well to this discussion.  A proposal for a 38-state nation:

I don't know whether I was born in Fort Wayne, Dearborn, Fort Wayne, Erie, or even Fort Wayne, Wabash

Gave me an idea:

PBrunsel is “Making American Geography Fun and Easy.”

1. The Common Wealth of Virginia is renamed East Virginia

2. The State of Kentennessee (A mix of Kentucky and Tennessee)

3. Of course the great sate of Oklahio.

4. Dakota and Carolina will be states as to make things easier for students, especially 4th and 5th graders.

5. All capitols will say their state name and then city (Examples: The capitol of Utah is Utah City, the capitol of Michigan is Michigan City, and so on). This is to make learning the states’ capitols easier for 4th and 5th graders.

6. Texas will be renamed “Cowboys”.

7. California will be separated into two parts: Los Angeles, and the rest of California.

8. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Vermont will revert back to colony status.

9. New Hampshire, New York, and New Jersey will be merged into the state of “New.”

10. Alaska will be given independence; only under the circumstance it names itself “Seward’s Folly.”

11. New Mexico is still the name of the state, but Mexico must change it’s name to “Old Mexico.”

12. Iowa will be awarded Minnesota, northern Missouri, Illinois, southern Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Guam, and Delaware. Why you ask? Because Iowa is the best state ever, of course.

13. The remaining states will be proclaimed “Junk States” and merged into the surrounding states, with the exception of Pennsylvania; which will be used as a giant swimming pool.

14. I forgot to add Florida, Florida will be renamed “Old People” due to all the old people there. It’s capitol is Old People City.

(In case you are wondering, this is but a joke.)
