Tennessee and Elevenessee

Ah yes the great states of Arkansas and Arkan’tsas, of Kansas and Kan’tsas.

I’ve got: Neo Hampshire, Middle Carolina, Outdianna, Tennetucky, Rkansas, Northwest Dakota, West South Dakota, Souther Dakota, The Real South Dakota, Coloradon’t, Becausoming, Ariz Oh No!, Udaho & Trail

What’s interesting are the states you can’t modify too much or it gives away the game.

Texas is a key example, people are pretty familiar with that shape, even many non-Americans will recognize it. Florida and California are also pretty well known. Also, many people have a rough idea of NY State, though you could probably tweak the north and west borders a bit and nobody would notice too much.

The ones it’s easy to fiddle with are the rectangular ones in the mid-west. I think a lot of people only know them starting from another reference point, like “north of Texas” or “east of Nevada”.

Texas, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Colorado again-… wait a minute

A couple of my friends had a go at this one:

Some notable quotes:

“Wrong. It goes washingyon, oregon, gravity falls, hotel california”

“pennywise AND ohio, rough spot for maine”

“New Hampsire is not a state. I haven’t heard shit from someone in New Hampshire”

Ah yes, Washington, Oregon, Orecan’t, and California!

I don’t know if that’s West Ohio or East Indiana, but either way, it is a crime against nature

I like Central Carolina and Kennesaw.

Glad Jefferson got included.

I’m just tickled that this map shows MN’s northwest angle as the (pseudo)exclave that it is.

North and South Dakota now have a Middle Dakota buffer zone.

Canadian here, from the outside it seems to just be 3 states. Almost crazy, crazy and don’t come here if you want to exist.

Finally Center Dakotans have their own state! Justice after all!

My favorite is asking people what the 51st state is, Hawaii or Alaska?
