Without googling: Which US state has the longest name? (Massachusetts, official)

[betamanlet]

Trust me, this is a debate question...

Remember, NO cheating and looking it up online.

Okay... I believe that it is something like...

"The Commonwealth of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation."

Am I close?

I've heard this one before and know the answer... but you need to clarify the question.

Are you asking for the longest name as we all know it, or the longest official name?

official name is still the state's name... I'm not talking about nicknames, like the volunteer state.

My guess is "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts" but I'm 99% sure I'm wrong. Can't think of anything longer...and I missed post #2 which actually is.

I refuse to give out hints. You must be EXACTLY correct with its name

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
