I suggest that:
1) Vermont be returned to her rightful owner, New Hampshire.
2) Maine be restored to Massachusetts, under the suzerainity of Lord Gruumash. or not, that can be determined later.
3) Delaware be declared a corporation and no longer a state--
and we should be good.
TLDR, so I don't know if this was addressed, but Vermont was part of NY before it became a state (the 14th), not NH.

Or we could merge South Carolina with North Carolina, because almost everyone not from there thinks they're the same state anyway. Likewise for the Dakotas.Oh heck no. I refuse to be in the same state as those SC barbarians with their mustard based bbq abomination* and cheap fireworks. ;)
*(because only vinegar based pulled pork bbq is the true type of carolina bbq)
I'm gonna commit cultural heresy here and claim NC pulled pork is better with that mustard sauce. And who don't like cheap explosives?
If we do it though, I want all 4 senators replaced by The Nature Boy Rick Flair. He gets to vote 4 times and can knife hand chop any politician in the middle of open debate on the floor.

Pro-New York propaganda!
You know how you can tell Vermont belongs to New Hampshire? Because it's just NH upside down!

AND, to be clear, we were a part of New York and seperated ourselves along river borders. New York was pissed but we were like "Hey, you guys are a bunch of dicks!" and congress said "Yeah. They are. They really, really are." and so Vermont was born. (you know we're cool because we like the Red Sox, unlike certain OTHER new england states). New Yorkers lashed back by unleashing the plague of the peepers upon us. Terrible.
In other news - North Dakota shouldn't be a state because Vermont is less then 1/10th the size and has more people.
You were only a part of New York because they sucked up to the crown!

As long as they all fall under my rule of New England I don't care so much how you split it up. Be it the others "states" are vassals or the like I don't really care too much. But once this State changing thing begins to happen I expect those in England to pay Homage to me. I will of course be giving out grand titles to those who are loyal Mr. Anklebiter has shown his value so far and will be proberly rewarded. Others who have chanllenged my rule will be dealt with.

I really, really wish. I enlisted into the Air Force and have been stationed in North Dakota ever since (a fate worse then death... well, not THAT bad but you get the idea).
I miss harpoon, magic hat, at least they finally have woodchuck hard cider out here though. And, Cabot distributes through Wal-mart now so that's just about the most exciting thing that's ever happened.

My pride will willingly follow Comrade Anklebiter, provided we are allowed to push most of the transplants from our immediate southern neighbor back there. They couldn't Drive when they had red & white plates, and they can't drive now that they have Green and white ones with the old man on 'em either.
What is the cut-off date for transplants?
What is the cut-off date for transplants?
No specific date, they just have to be able to prove they can drive without being an idiot or an arse.
And in what township would my liege be placing his seat of non-governance?
The Anklebiters hail from the the western part of Massachusetts where people hate Bostonians and root for the Yankees. They moved, with infant Doodblebug in tow, to Merrimack in 1978. I left as soon as I could, which was 1995, but now, after a brush with homelessness, I'm back!
I can't say where, exactly, but the Free NH Goblin Resistance headquarters is located outside of Manchester.

Why not just consolidate the various cardinal direction states into Carolina, Dakota and Virginia? Furthermore exactly what good would eliminating states do?
Ain't no way, Ain't no how I am being a Virginian, although thank you for recognizing that West Virginia is actually a state. I've had people ask me if I live near the beach!
Just give California, Washington and Idaho to Caesar's Legion and be done with it.
Heck no, I'll take my chances with the New California Republic. If Idaho would happen to get the boot, I want it to be peacefully... I'm not really a fan of the US government anyways...
How about making arkansas cecede?

All motivation for DC to secede went the way of Mayor Marion "snoot full of blow" Barry, 'specially when the ladies of the night were marched across the 14th St bridge 20 or 30 years ago.
What's President to do if he can't get his ashes hauled discreetly?!
On the up side, they already have all the necessary embassy buildings at hand...
Back to the original topic... I'm afraid I can't support the proposal until somebody shows me an appealing design for a US flag with 47 stars on the canton.
So now "symmetricality" is a requirement?! That's just typical!
Naaaah ... just get 3 new "states"...
Rows of 7, 7, 6, 7, 6, 7 and 7 would be pretty symmetrical. I thought I was clever by checking what a 47-star flag looked like, but it turns out that number was skipped. Most likely they couldn't figure out a 47-star flag and waited for another entry before jumping to 6 * 8.
Why not consolidate by region? For example, we could have the State of Appalachia, consisting of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania. And resurrect the CSA, with the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi. The northeast and northwest could be ceded to Canada, if we want to reduce the number of states cheaply and easily. Texas and the whole southwest would become a lawless buffer zone between the former U.S. and the drug wars in Mexico. The possibilities are limitless here!
Dude, whatever; if Rhode Island hadn't caved to the pressure and ratified the Constitution, there only would have been twelve states to begin with. We were perfectly happy from 1776 until 1790.
Please don't split California. :-(
I mean, if you combined every other state in the west California would still have way more people in it.
Heck, let's just start consolidating to make the states more impressive in size and population relative to California.
Combine Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico into one state, called New Waredantaminahradonada.
Then, let's get North and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Illinois to make North South Dabraskasotassourinois.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio make Wischiganahio.
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana make Texarkahomiana.
Alaska and Hawaii are on their own.
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida make Missibamiada.
Kentucky, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia make North South West Kentennelininia.
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania make New Pennylaresey.
Finally, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, make New Connislachushironte.
TL;DR Bam! 10 states in the union.
EDIT: actually missed 2 states. Fixed.
Then, let's get North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Illinois to make North South Dabraskasotassourinois... Bam! 10 states in the union.
Too much Decabet on SNL for you, Mr. Aykroyd.

Hmm, that's the first time I've seen that.
Funny sketch, though; and I see the resemblance. 0.o
Oooooh I love those names. If I ever make a RPG setting where America is part of the map, this will be exactly the state setup. =)
Please don't split California. :-(
As a native Californian (Northern) and a former occupant of that state, let me just say...
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SPLIT California.
Hook Nor-Cal up with the central valley (we like our crops) and all of the National Parks (cuz they are great), throw in all of the coastal cities all the way down to... let's say Santa Barbara.
Then carpet-bomb everything South of there (minus the beaches - cuz we need surfing and non-wetsuit swimming water). But, by all means, turn LA into a twisted heap of fused glass.
That's horrible, stormraven! Bad birdy!
Also, anything that has new york in it should be known as just new york.

You can't combine New York and New England it just doesn't work. Honestly we should just have the orginal states perhaps allow California to exist as the west Coast and call the places in between Corn and Wheat and Sking land and be done with it.
I mean what is there west of Worchester anyways besides perhaps California and some sking area in that land in between the east and west coasts.

No worries—the San Andreas fault will take care of that for you, eventually.

You're obviously not from Albany! NYC should be part of New Jersey (it basically is anyway). And rename it. The rest of New York State can remain so, or else join New England or Canada. See also here.

I watched the TV show How The States Got Their Shapes, and thoroughly enjoyed it
(in a nerd sort of way.)
One thing that surprised me was how influential the gold rush was on borders in the West.
