California needs to be split into 2 or even 3 states--Southern California would be split off to the south of the northern borders of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernadino Counties. After that Northern California could be one state or split into smaller city-states like People's Republic of San Francisco/Berkeley and the Silicon Valley Trade Federation, along with the Central Valley which will be renamed Newer Mexico, and the the Northern Coast counties which will be the Emerald Triangle(after which they can finally legalize weed). The northernmost counties can finally enact the long-desired merge with Southern Oregon as the State of Jefferson, after which no one will ever pay any attention to them ever again.
The northern third of California is utterly different from the urban regions of the state... the largest city north of Sacramento is Redding (population about 90,000). It would be fun to see it as a state all its own... it could christen itself Jefferson, or maybe South Oregon! It would do okay economically, with tourism, rice, fruit, almonds and pot, plus water exports to its southern neighbors.
I just want Georgia's northern border to have that 1 mile northward that was supposed to be ours, that would help with the droughts significantly with nickajack and other bodies of water (hell, just give us Chattanooga it's more like GA anyways).
Uh no. Y’all don’t get to steal Tennessee river water to feed overgrown Atlanta. You can’t have Chattanooga, people there are happy being part of Tennessee. Why not make North georgia part of Tennessee since it’s more like the rest of East Tennessee? Mountains and mountain culture prevail in much of north Georgia, sounds like it should be ours lol.
cut virginia in half...too long a state to drive through. making it two would mentally fool my brain into thinking its not a bad drive! add a third lane too!
Cumberland Gap, at the southwest tip of VA, is actually closer in miles, to the capital cities of KY, NC, SC, TN, OH, WV, than it is to ITS OWN capital city. Richmond.
I don't care much about geographic size but it would be nice if states were more uniform in size. Maybe each state being between 6M and 9M.
I know that would mean that there would be city States like NY and really huge stress as the plain and mountain states would have to be combined, but I think it would be more fair and representative. A state like Montana or Vermont shouldn't have the same number of senators( clout) as California or Texas.
I still don't understand how NYC/LI was put together with the rest of the NYS. When people think of New York, they usually think of NYC/LI, despite being sandwiched between NJ and CT. NYC/LI might as well be the 51st state.

Yes, the SW portion of the state really doesn't fit with the rest of the state. If I were redrawing maps, I'd reassign that section to KY and WV.
