    I have issues with Hawaii and Alaska placements on this map.

      I feel like this map isn’t just putting them there to show they are part of the country; this map assumes we physically moved the states.

        I’m fine with this explanation. Honestly, they should be closer to home anyway.

        their stripes should reflect their actual location, not where their insets are in relation to the rest of the map.

        And shrunk Alaska and physically moved Mexico…or air-dropped Alaska and Hawaii onto it.

          I like the idea of dropping a couple states onto another country.

        Hell, yeah. Almost 200,000 square miles dedicated to lawlessness, vice, and anarchy. Sure would make interstate travel more interesting.

    Why do all the states have different names? Aren’t they all called America now?

      Nah, the king simply added America to the pre-existing names since they refuse to assimilate blue states. Cali-merica, Ameriiwai, New Yamerica, Washingamerica, and so on.

    We should do this just to mess with Europeans. We’ll relate it to the unit circle and claim it’s metric.

    If I recall correctly from history class, this was George Washington’s original proposal.

    But, that was a long time ago.
