Isn't Arizona the Copper State?

It seems like it's not it's main nickname though.

I would change the description to say "official state nicknames" rather than "valid" because Copper State is valid, it just isn't the official nickname. Also, make this a one mistake quiz. Two mistakes is too easy.

Never heard of "Treasure State." It's always been "Big Sky Country" to me.

It's the Beaver State. Washington is the Evergreen State. Vermont is the Green Mountain State. No Green State, sadly.

I definitely thought that the Aloha State wasn't real because of how dumb it sounds haha

The Pineapple State is an unofficial nickname for Hawaii. It satisfies the criteria of a valid, but not official, nickname.
