United States Battle Royale Season 2 - Episode 1

Welcome to our first Battle Royale! 16 out of 51 states (DC counts) have been claimed, and the other 35 are bots. This means that early rounds will be more about empire building.

Without further ado, let the royale begin!

1. West Virginia vs Virginia

West Virginia (Pontiac) is feeling like it wants to grow beyond Appalachia. So they set their eyes east to Virginia. Many centuries ago, they split from them due to conflicts over leaving America, and now, the West wants Virginia back. Virginia has much more people, but the people of West Virginia are powerful with their years living in the Appalachians, where they were toughened, while the Virginians have had centuries of easy life growing and smoking tobacco. They March on Richmond, and the Virginian flag falls as Take Me Home, Country Roads plays

West Virginia wins!

2. Nevada vs Idaho

So Nevada (ImGeographyGOAT), really hates that they got a boring desert with nothing in it, while all of their neighbors are having the time of their lives, Idaho with its potatoes, California with everything, Arizona with the grand canyon, Utah with its five national parks, and Oregon with its forests. They decide to attack Idaho, as they don't have too many people. Armed with what appears to be a tank made entirely of slot machines, they fire billions of coins at the Idahoans, and soon cross the Snake by using their fake Eiffel Tower as a bridge, reaching Boise and taking the city with ease.

Nevada wins!

3. Illinois vs Indiana

Illinois, run by Froggodoggo, one of the most hated states ever, due to having literally nothing but a dying city by the lake, wants to be more. So they set their eyes east. Indiana has a national park, is world famous for car races, AND is home to Hawkins, the best small town of the 1980s. But Illinois is ready. They get some corn from their many fields that make up everything except Chicago, and shoot flaming hot popcorn at Indiana. Indiana needs to defend, so they open the Upside Down. However turns out all of the monsters there are severely allergic to corn, and they fall quickly, and their cars aren't much help either. Indianapolis falls, and Illinois finally has something special to call their own.

Illinois wins!

4. Maryland vs Pennsylvania

Maryland (Ptcairn) is kind of forgotten. Baltimore is best known as "Oh that city next to DC with a lot of crime" and nobody even knows the rest of the state exists. However they also have crabs, and apparently some guys from Maryland snuck into Washington DC and got a ray to make the crabs giant. Then they march north into Pennsylvania, mowing down everything in their path. Philadelphia, which has a cracked bell, a football team, and nothing else, soon falls and now everyone knows what Maryland is

Maryland wins!

5. Alabama vs Louisiana

So logically Alabama, a state well known for poverty, a swimming pool shaped like the state itself, and maybe Space Camp, should attack a state like Mississippi or Georgia, but no. They want to sail South. However there is nothing but the Gulf of America south, so they try blowing their sail on their $1 dollar boat towards Florida, hoping to surprise them. However Louisiana (AzureBlue) is watching from New Orleans, and the whole army is holding beignets and a jazz band is playing by the shore. They fire a hurricane at the Alabama army, obliterating them. Soon, they swim to Alabama and since they have no army no more, Montgomery falls, and now Alabama is controlled by a state that they don't even border

Louisiana Wins!

6. Kentucky vs Tennessee

Kentucky, the state home to bourbon, horses, gold, and fried chicken. They feel like they are underappreciated, and is forgotten for being so darn poor,  and so they attack south to Tennessee (Capybarra). However, Tennessee isn't particularly happy with this attack, as their beautiful landscape has already been hit with 50 million chicken thighs. So, they send their best country singers north, holding a massive container of Jack Daniel's. The container is bigger on the inside than on the outside, and soon all of Kentucky is flooded. Frankfort is taken, and Louisville soon follows. 

Tennessee Wins!

7. Mississippi vs Louisiana

Mississippi is surrounded by empires. Louisiana to the West AND East, and Tennessee to the North. So they decide to try against Louisiana (AzureBlue). Big mistake! The only thing Mississippi really has in 2025 is extreme poverty, and corruption, so while the governor is relaxing on some tropical beach, the military gets a quarter every year to fund their army. Because of this they have 400 toy soldiers that they have accumulated over the past 5 years, and they send them to Louisiana. However they must have forgotten they can't move independently, because nothing freaking happens! Louisiana takes advantage and crosses the Mississippi River, taking Jackson in just 8 milliseconds.

Louisiana Wins!

8. Nebraska vs Colorado

Nebraska looks out onto its vast landscape. Then they realize how flat they are, and that they have nothing but corn. They look southwest and see Colorado (DixonTiconderoga), they have mountains, ski resorts, national parks, and big cities and sports teams! They are so jealous that they force Warren Buffett to hand over his fortune, and they buy a hydrogen bomb from who knows where. However, Colorado sees them doing this and so they remember a war from ages past where Utah used a method called S.T.E.A.L (Strategically Transport to An Alternative Location) to take the hydrogen bomb. They succeed, get the bomb, and blow up Nebraska. Lincoln can't surrender, because Lincoln doesn't exist anymore.

Colorado Wins!

So these were the battles, and DixonTiconderoga, AzureBlue, Capybarra, Pontiac, Ptcairn, FroggoDoggo, and ImGeographyGOAT, you have to answer this question about the USA in your groups (Note I haven't made all groups yet, so expect groups to form by tomorrow.

The Question is, What is the only US state to have a Corn Palace?
