There's also a huge difference between the New Orleans area and the rest of Louisiana. The divide is not just urban-rural but religious as well with large Catholic populations in New Orleans because of the early French influences and the Protestants in the rest of the state. Also New Orleans is a more French/European culture compared to the Old South feel of the rest of Louisiana, including Baton Rouge and Shreveport.
You can have Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas become a state, and southern Arkansas and Northern Louisiana become a state.
Florida can be split somewhere along a line running just north of Orlando. Jacksonville and Tallahassee can be in Florida and Orlando, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale can be South Florida, North Cuba, or Long Island South. The Tampa Bay area can have a referendum and vote which side to join LOL.
Split southern and northern California. I've lived in SoCal for just over 4 years (moved from out of state) and I am now looking to move to northern Cali (Placer Co. north of Sacramento) because of the quality of life. On a recent trip to Rocklin I felt like I'd found the "real" California. The place where the happy cows live. The cows in SoCal have to be miserable. It's hot, dusty (it is a desert), over crowded, and somewhat anti-America. I found the northern part of California to very American and much cleaner over all. I didn't see trash all over the place and people disrespecting America by driving around displaying the flag of another country on their car. They have the freedom of expression - but if they want to fly the Mexican flag I'd prefer they do it IN MEXICO.

Reason: did not finish
mostly , the state divisions relate to history, long ago, and are not as relevent today. It would make reason if states were divided along red and blue areas. Voting rights are all screwed up as it is now. Our system is not fair for all. We are a republic, thats why the reference " These United States ". If it ment changing state boundry lines, to better represent the people , so much the better. ....What a nightmare however, thats whats going on in Iraq now.........lets get our own house in order, and , let others handle their own problems.
I would say Illinois. It should either be split from Springfield/Champain or it should be divided between the surrounding states. Splitting the state between IN, TN, MO, IA, and MI would be the best.

Umm, how would MI be involved? It isn't a border state to Illinois.
If anything I think Alaska should be split right down the middle, that way Texas can S-T-F-U about how things are bigger and better there. Hard to brag when you would be #3... even though being 2nd (1st place loser) in size hasn't fazed them yet.
