Great quiz! Just wanted to point out that the abbreviation for Maine is actually ME.

neo is Portuguese: from Wiki "The term is almost exclusively used by Portuguese speakers."

Either that, or adding states to the clues so it's not as much of a guessing game. But yeah, good quiz idea cathlete!

Yeah I had been thinking of adding the states as a further hint. Maybe now I’ll actually do it. Thanks for the suggestion!
