Next on the name list: Arkansas. It's pronounced "are-can-saw" but it's spelled like it should be pronounced as "are-kansas", which is frankly ridiculous! Personally, I would be fine with renaming the state Arkansaw.
Then you have states whose names and shapes are just...dull. They're not horrific by any means, but there's nothing special about them. For example: Georgia, and literally any other state with the name "new" in it. They're alright. North and South Carolina also fall into the same boat. And going back to maps, pretty much any state in the west. Colorado and Wyoming look the exact same. The same goes for North and South Dakota, which are quite frankly, duplicates of each other.
And after that, we have the cool states. Alaska; the most beautiful state name. And the shape is p r i s t i n e. Whenever I lose faith in humanity, I think about the glorious state of Alaska. There's also Nebraska, which coincidently rhymes with Alaska. Michigan and New York both have cool borders. North Carolina and Virginia also look majestic.
But on the flip side, Maryland is even uglier than Mississippi! It gives me Holy Roman Empire vibes, which is enough to give any person the shivers. Some of these states could go with unification. I propose that Alabama and Mississippi combine to form "Greater Alabama", or maybe we can take a Native American tribe name if they're cool with it.
So, my fellow humans. What are your thoughts on the US? Are there any states whose names or borders you would like to see changed? Obviously, none of these proposals are going to occur anytime soon, but it's nice to think about it. At least it is for me.
