In the media it's probably Delaware or Rhode Island. But in normal day-to-day life it has to be a tie between Alaska and Hawaii. We're not even on weather maps, for pete's sake. Because what's going on here doesn't really matter to anyone down there. We're a bit of a curiosity, and perhaps a vacation destination, but when most people talk about the US they're not talking about us, of course. Just the real states.
I think Wyoming. You never hear anything about Wyoming. You see it on the map and it's like "oh, yeah, forgot about that one". Maybe that's a good thing for Wyoming.
Udana. Nobody ever talks about it anymore, after the tabloid publicity died down about Quilty spotting Humbert Humbert's blue Melmoth sedan at the motel in Cedern, Udana, when he was in there with Lolita.
Several other forgotten states:
Lois and Clark lived in Metropolis, New Troy.
Sinclair Lews' Babbitt lived in Zenith, Winnimac.
Bullwinkle and Rocky lived in Moosylvania.
Alderney, Liberty City State, and San Andreas are states in Grand Theft Auto.

A&E has a new show called "Longmire" that's set in Wyoming. I think it being set in Wyoming is a major reason it gets any attention because TV shows are pretty much never set in contemporary Wyoming. (Pre-WWI Wyoming has been a setting for several Western series, but the most recent one I found looks to be twenty years old) I'm not sure I can even think of a movie set in contemporary Wyoming. (On looking it up Brokeback Mountain was in post-war Wyoming and the big ending of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is in Wyoming)
Of course, like many shows, it's not filmed where it's set. Instead it's filmed in New Mexico.
