So is Puerto Rico (think about Guadeloupe and Martinique).
Yeah you both need to be examined...first of all the prior poster most likely meant to say New Foundland instead of Nova Scotia, which is still incorrect. Second poster...well just both go get reacquainted with a map.
One of the goofiest versions of this was in 2005 when the small Texas town of Clark voted to rename themselves DISH, Texas (intentional ALL CAPS). All residents got free satellite TV with all the trimmings for 10 years. I wonder if they will go back to Clark here in three years.
Once their promotion ends, the rates will increase to $1,000,000/month.
The combined area of the 14 smallest US states is less than the area of Texas. Yet, the entire state of Texas would fit into Alaska nearly two and a half times.

Why don't you just present some correct and useful facts, instead of comments on the intellect and mental health of other posters.
Start with a link to a map that we can get acquainted with that shows that Puerto Rico is closer to the United States than to Guadeloupe. And I think you meant to say Newfoundland, instead of New Foundland.
St. Pierre and Guadeloupe are internal, constituent parts of France, just like Hawaii is a part of the USA. They have full voting privileges and representation in their national government. They are not occupied territories, like Puerto Rico. So the American outlying territory of Puerto Rico is closer to France Proper than to the USA Proper.
The driving distance between Chino Hills, CA and Needles, CA is 232 miles....and both of those cities are located in the SAME COUNTY (San Bernardino). In comparison, it's a 227 mile drive between NYC and DC, and it involves portions of FOUR STATES!
Seven sprawling counties in the interior of Nevada have an area equal to that of the state of Kentucky, and a population equal to the town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. And, unlike the the rest of Nevada, their populations are not increasing.

Yes, A BIT MORE, but not enough to warrant calling one of them France and not the other. As you correctly pointed out, in both St. Pierre and Guadeloupe, the citizens vote for members of the French Senate and Chamber of Deputies.
There is portion of Minnesota (the Northwest Angle) that lies north of the US-Canada border and you have to go through Canada to get to it.
There is no major Interstate highway going all the way through the District of Columbia.
The Southernmost Point in Key West is actually not he southernmost point, just the southernmost point that isn't on private or military property.
Cancun is closer to Miami than it is to Mexico City.
The biggest city in Virginia is Virginia Beach.
Rockville, Maryland has the northernmost Confederate monument that is not part of a battlefield or cemetery. It is on the grounds of the Montgomery County courthouse. I'm sure glad the liberal loons who run that county haven't discovered this fact yet.
Despite the reputation for sprawl, the metro areas of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix have higher density than the metro areas of Baltimore and Pittsburgh, not to mention Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Winston-Salem, or Raleigh.
Kansas City has the most freeway lane-miles per capita in the country. Others in the top ten include Dallas, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. Los Angeles actually has one of the lowest!!!!!!
The 110 miles between Salina, Utah, and Green River, Utah thru the San Rafael Swell is the longest distance without motorist services on the Interstate highway system.
Interstate 80 in Utah has the longest distance between two exits - 37 miles. Would suck if you missed your exit eh?
The drive between Kansas City and Denver seems relatively flat. But by the time you reached Denver, you've gone up a mile in elevation.
Part of the Aleutian islands of Alaska line in the Eastern Hemisphere, to Alaska is both the easternmost AND westernmost state in the nation.
