Fixing State Borders

+9

Welcome

Hello, Halo, Bonjour, Hola, and Privyet

In this blog I will be changing the borders of the US States.

DISCLAIMER

This is meant to be humorous


1. Alaska and Hawaii

Let's give Alaska to Canada and Hawaii independence to keep things simple. Aight?


First off we need some major changes.

1. The Upper Peninsula

Under no circumstances should this be part of Michigan. Welcome to Wisconsin.

2. Panhandles

Several states just look wrong with panhandles. So, let's give them back to their rightful owners.

Connecticut: Your Panhandle is going to New York

Missouri's little heel on the bottom is now Arkansan territory.

Florida's panhandle will be split between Alabama and Georgia. 
Maryland's panhandle claimed by West Virginia.

West Virginia will not lost land because its panhandles actually look good.

Now, Oklahoma's panhandle *should* go to Texas. But how about instead, Texas' panhandle goes to Oklahoma? Win-Win.

3. Washington, DC

Going to Maryland. WHY SHOULD THIS BE SEPARATE?

4. Dakotas and Carolinas

Tell me again. WHY ARE THEY SEPARATE?

Looking better already.

Now, I will spin ten times to make changes to random states.

1. Idaho

People are moving to Idaho. They need more land. So, let's form Greater Idaho by giving all of Eastern Oregon to Idaho.

2. Florida

As if Florida hasn't suffered enough, Georgia and Alabama decide that they are not the south. So, Florida decides to sink some counties so it can truly become a separate zone as an island.

3. Kentucky

Kentucky is long, and they split from Virginia, and to become even longer, let's take western Virginia! (not to be confused with West Virginia)

4. Colorado

Colorado is an ugly rectangle, and they have land in the Great Plains. This is not right. The whole state should be mountain. So, let's give the Plains area to Kansas! I will let Colorado keep Denver though.

5. Rhode Island

Rhode Island is small. So small that you probably won't notice it being given to Massachusetts. But why give Rhode Island to Massachusetts when you can give Massachusetts to Rhode Island? But instead of Massachusetts, Long Island will be joining Rhode Island, seeing as it is very close.

6. New Jersey

Let's just give this whole state to New York. Finally, New York City has NFL teams.

7. Oregon

Oregon has been weakened strongly by the Idaho expansion. So, Washington offers to take over and they rename to Cascadia.

8. Delaware

Despite being a tiny peninsula, the Delmarva is split between Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. So, let the smallest state fix this dispute by having it all.

9. Minnesota

We cannot have a state on  both sides of the Mississippi River. So, instead of everything on the east going to Wisconsin like you would logically expect, instead, everything on the west is going to Dakota. There, perfect! And while we are at it, let's give the land of Louisiana east of the Mississippi, to well, Mississippi. Up to Lake Ponchartrain.

10. Missouri

Finally, let's give all of Kansas City to Kansas.

Anyway hope you enjoyed

there might be a sequel

comment what you liked and what you didn't like.

Idaho should have got the western part of Montana instead of part of Oregon.

New Mexico gets part of Texas on the Mexican border, thus making Texas smaller and appeasing all the road-trippers that moan about Texas being to big.

As a Texan everything went very well. We lost the most ugly part of our state, and we are probably now the biggest state in the U.S.
