Living in New Jersey and having lived near horse farms, the 1.1 million acre Pine Barrens nature reserve, and the sparsely-populated highlands of Sussex County, I find it very curious that all of this is considered "urban area".

Also, the 2010 census classified 60% of the land and 5% of the population of New Jersey as rural.

To be more precise, New Hampshire is the only state that doesn't require _adults_ to wear seat belts.

The state partially named for its founder wasn't - it was named after the founder's father.

It's called Penn's Forest instead of just Penn.

I always learned that West Virginia is the only state with two panhandles, but...looking at a map of Maryland, I can definitely see the argument.

I knew Louisiana was historically connected to France, but having a legal system partially based on the Napoleonic Code just takes it to another level

The Napoleonic Code was promulgated the year after the Louisiana Purchase so all it took is a trip to Paris to buy a copy of the book.

The quibble I have is that the French first name is pronounced "pee-air", whereas the capital of SD is pronounced "peer".

wild that wearing seatbelts is still not enforced nationwide for all occupants of a car, wether child or adult, front- or backseat

It is enforced for children. It's only adults who don't have to live under the government's oppressive thumb.

I'm not sure how urban areas are defined, but isn't all of Rhode Island included in the Providence metro? From what I can find, all 5 counties at least overlap with the urban area.

Thanks. You're right.

The Wikipedia article says that New Jersey is the only state where every county is deemed an "urban county" by the Census. That seems like a strange distinction.

That question has been replaced entirely.

Back when I was a kid I read vintage World Books out of curiosity. That's where I discovered that in 1950 New Jersey was, by percentage, the most forested state in the Union. That seemed strange even in 1960--but I assume it was true then.

Oklahoma isn't the only state where every county voted for trump in 24. West Virginia did as well

West Virginia also voted for Trump over Harris in every county, hence Oklahoma is not the only one.

Well shoot. The replacement question didn't work either. Tried a different replacement.

Calling Michigan's offshore borders inland water is like when saying San Francisco is 200 square miles in area instead of 45 by including a fraction of the Pacific Ocean, which happens to border the city. It would be interesting to see realistic statistics on the Great Lakes states that only count water within their terrestrial boundaries, as is done for every other state with a shoreline.

Are there people who didn't know Rhode Island changed its name, but figured it out because of the 2020 hint?

I think the purpose of the hint is to direct people to a recent change instead of wasting time wondering if some state had an archaic change in their name 200 years ago. (Massachusetts Bay to Massachusetts in 1781)
