Neither. I'd have two areas. One for people who listen to Guns N Roses. The other would be for those who do not and there would not be trash pickup in that area.

See now, my hopes were that your breakdown of each map would be completely unbiased, but I guess I should have known better, huh?

Regardless, it's still all fun. I know how not to take these things too seriously.

Why only 4 states? We can split into five, can't we?

It's just state lines, though. It's not as if they're moving to seperate continents.
