What are the most boring and plain shaped states on the US map?? Im going for Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and the Dakotas since those are simply squares or rectangles. On the other hand list what you feel are the more interesting shapes as well.

If anyone could post a map for a visual it would be appreciated.

Wyoming and Colorado with their "quadrilateralness" are pretty boring.

I've always liked how North Carolina looks, North Carolina crushes Tennessee no doubt about it.

It took zero imagination to draw out Colorado and Wyoming. Heck, they are shaped exactly the same!!

Vermont and New Hampshire, would , if joined together, form a near-perfect rectangle, but this didn't happen, of course..

Their respective shapes are a good indicator of population, though, as NH has Manchester and Nashua in the bottom tier, while VT has Burlington and Chittenden County in the northern section.

This is one of the weirdest threads I've ever seen on City-Data... and that's saying a lot. My answer would be Colorado or Wyoming.

Is there any real way we could rank Colorado or Wyoming higher than the other? They pretty much HAVE to tie.
