Nice! Not many people would realize South Carolina is farther south than California. **p.s. New Mexico is listed out of order**

** Aren't New Mexico and Arizona at their southernmost at their common border? ** i.e. NM is both out of order and wrong Lat?

Porto Rico isn't a state of anywhere! Porto is a city in Portugal, and Rico is a type of collective criminal prosecution!

But yes, Puerto Rico doesn't count here...

I remember seeing a license plate (I think) that had it spelled as LoUiSiAna, where "USA" is capitalized and separated by i's. That's how I remember how to spell it.

Why is California not there? San Diego is more south than the North of Alabama for example

Southernmost points count. Also with this logic, Cheyenne is more south than the north of California etc.

San Diego is further south than the northern parts of Alabama, but Mobile is further south than the northern parts of California. Looks like we have a stalemate. Neither should be on this quiz. (I'm joking of course, Djilas's answer is correct.) Northern points have nothing to do with this quiz.

They technically always have been. They each have their own constitution and are considered a federation, when making up the US.

Germany for the longest time was somewhere around 40 principalities operating as separate states (or countries) before uniting.

Blah blah TL;DR...

California's not on here because its southernmost point is not as far south as the southernmost points of the states that are on here.

Got Hawaii with 1 second left.

Mexican border, Gulf of Mexico, a state with "south" in its name + Hawaii.

(for a bonus point, which state on the list doesn't meet any of these criteria?)

Georgia is on the list but doesn't meet your criteria. California does meet the criteria and is not on the list... as does South Dakota.
