That one is going on an April Fools quiz in the future. A handful of people declared themselves a republic, controlled an area of land smaller than Sonoma county, picked out a flag, and then dissolved. If that's independence, we're going to have to add a lot more countries to our current list. Sealand has better claims to statehood.

Vermont as a country is pretty sketchy. I guess it might be technically true but it was more of a no man's land that broke away after the revolution started. The colonies of New Hampshire and New York had bigger things on their plates. At various times Vermont aligned with the British with the hope that after the rebellion was squashed they would be an independent colony and as a 14th state of America. There founding documents refer to itself as a state and commonwealth and the leader as governor. No other country recognized it as an independent state.

You're probably right. The complaining if we left it off would be too much though. I'm sure 99% of people will just answer Texas for that one.

I said Vermont too. I learned the same thing as jmellor from my APUSH class, and since I used Vermont for the previous clue (75% forested), it was the first thing that came to mind.

The Chesapeake Bay feeds into the Atlantic. That doesn't make it part of the ocean. The Mississippi River feeds into the Gulf of Mexico, that doesn't make every city on the river part of the Gulf also

A bay is different from a river. You're saying Maryland and Virginia are landlocked? Or Ontario and Manitoba?

as someone who has an entire side of his Ohana from Hawaii, that is BS that fewer than 25% of adults are obese. The islands are FULL of obese folks.

I have never been to Hawaii, but I was surprised by Hawaii too because I know that Pacific Islanders usually rank among the most obese people in the world. Not sure whether that is genetic or the fact that so much of their food is likely filled with preservatives because it needs to be imported so far (probably a combination of both). Either way, the fact that there are only three states in which less than a quarter of the population is obese is horrifying.

Some sources say about 10-11% are Pacific Islanders, and about 24% are mixed race.

Causes of obesity in Polynesia probably is a combination evolutionary strategies to survive famine, more cultural acceptance of fat people, supplying Native populations with cheap carbohydrates and other processed foods by the colonizing governments while suppressing native traditional food, (pounding poi was just recently legalized in Hawaii.) car culture.

I've always seen island populations as having higher obesity rates due to their lifestyle choices. Not much incentive to go outdoors or do manual labor

For the states with fewer than 25% obesity, Massachusetts is no longer valid https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/annual/measure/Obesity/state/HI

Massachusetts dropped down to nr 7. First (lowest percentage of obese people) is Colorado with 22.6%, second Hawaii with 23.8%, and runner up with 25.1% is California>

Most obese is West-virginia with 38.1% of adults.

Providence isn’t on the Atlantic, it’s on the Providence River (which flows into Narragansett Bay with them connects to the Atlantic). Boston Mass is the only capital city that actually sits on the Atlantic.

Maryland and Rhode Island should be removed from the "Whose capital touches the Atlantic." Providence and Annapolis do not have shores on the Atlantic Ocean.

I would argue that Annapolis being on the Chesapeake should be kept but Providence being on a river should be removed. Dover, DE is closer to the Atlantic (2 miles) than Providence is (~5 miles).

It would be possible to add as an inbuilt feature of the site, but it wouldn't be possible (easily at least) to do it from a user side.
