New Map







SCROLL
It's a little unfair that giant states with tiny populations get so much room for such few people. I mean, especially since states on the east coast are living on top of each other in cramped borders. So let's change that with a fun little thought exercise and a spin on how to look at the map of United States: what if we gave the biggest states by physical size to the states with the biggest population? New York would be the new California, Alaska is in New Jersey, Hawaii is part of the contiguous 48 and Texas stays Texas forever.
Here's what the map of the United States would look like if the population matched its physical size:

California is the new New York.  Does that count?

There are two errors on that map; one error causes the other error. And that's ignoring whether the states are moved to the proper new locations.

JHC... Illinois and Wisconsin on our borders? Alert the Texas Guard!

Although I note with amusement that Illinois actually has more ethnic Hispanic residents than New Mexico, so not much change there.

...and under the "neighbor states" law, the new IL residents could buy guns in Texas without having to register the purchases, as they do at present.

And the idea of moving all the Californians up to Alaska makes me giggle. Perfect place for them.

There are two Nevadas and no Nebraska on the map.

There's a reason for that, actually. After all, the state motto of Nebraska is "Gateway to Wyoming" or something similar.
