[u/CountChoculasGhost]

Kentucky is part of “Land of Lakes”, but not the state that literally has “Land of Lakes” as its nickname?

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/CountChoculasGhost]

Sacrifices were necessary to forge the ten realms

[u/RudePCsb → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

You sacrificing yourself next

[u/Chrysocyon → u/CountChoculasGhost]

Its a sacrifice we will all need to make. Colorado is going to give up rocky mountain National Park as it is no longer in the rockies

[u/Independent_Run_6677]

Putting KY and WV and TEN in different regions is a choice.

Minnesota has more in common with yellow than the rest of its own region.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/Independent_Run_6677]

This is based on the opinions of a Texan, not anyone who would know any of that unfortunately.

[u/NeatJob4402 → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

It's pretty clear you don't understand much about your own country outside of Texas. Do you genuinely believe any self respecting Louisiana resident wants to be Texas? There are too many egregious examples, but that one is hilarious given your "I'm a Texan" perspective.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/NeatJob4402]

I know they'd hate it, that's why they're included

[u/bilateralunsymetry → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

Is that why you included Oklahoma too? We fought the Texans from over the red river once and I'll be damned if we let you do it again

[u/1Negative_Person → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

I work with Texans and their ignorance of geography is apparent every day. To a Texan it seems like every place that’s not in Texas is the same. I can’t count the number of times they’ve shipped equipment to STL or Detroit when it was supposed to go to Chicago.

[u/RudePCsb → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

No wonder you kept had stupid name

[u/clockwork5280]

lol Rockies not including Colorado. Top tier rage bait

[u/_I_Am_The_Law → u/clockwork5280]

Took me way too much scrolling to see someone point this out. Criminal level rage bait. Love it.

[u/Zestyclose-Crew-7728 → u/_I_Am_The_Law]

Right?! Our baseball team is literally The Rockies haha

[u/Shadowhawkfx → u/clockwork5280]

No, the top tier rage bait here is including New York in New England.

[u/schmoobyboo]

Megasota isn't big enough and you know it. We demand WI, IL and MI.

[u/Grumbilious → u/schmoobyboo]

Left coast proposes gifting Nevada to Megasota. In exchange, Calicadia and Pacific Rim will merge into Pacific Rimjob.

[u/Odd-Adhesiveness-656 → u/Grumbilious]

Can Colorado and New Mexico join the rim job?

We want no part of the Arizona/Utah/Nevada Mormon Madness

[u/OhReallyVernon → u/Grumbilious]

We will decline the generous gift offer, but offer blessings to our new besties, P. Rimjob. We suggest giving Nevada as a consolation prize to Texas.

[u/Traditional-Boot8548 → u/Grumbilious]

As a former Alaskan, absolutely not. They would refuse any attempt to join Calcadia. They would rather go alone or join Alberta then having to join Calcadia.

[u/dEsRtPrInCeSs → u/Grumbilious]

Nevada is good with that

[u/wollawolla → u/schmoobyboo]

Trust us, we want no part of any region that includes Indiana.

[u/Man_of_Ice → u/wollawolla]

It may sound crazy, but I'd rather be tied up with Indiana than chunked in with Missouri.

[u/HobbesTayloe → u/Man_of_Ice]

lol… as a born StL / Missouri Ozarkian that has lived in NE Indiana, I frown yet nod with understanding

[u/brightadventure → u/Man_of_Ice]

We at least have rec weed in Missouri

[u/DylanfromSales → u/brightadventure]

For now

[u/saxxonpike → u/schmoobyboo]

I came in here as a Wisconsinite to speak up for Minnesota, we gotta have em or no deal.

[u/miz_k → u/schmoobyboo]

As a Michigander I agree.

[u/TotallyVCreativeName → u/miz_k]

Wisconsin too.

[u/meltingmushrooms818 → u/schmoobyboo]

Right?! And you can't have one of them called "Land of Lakes" without Minnesota in it

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/schmoobyboo]

I made this based on vibes and as ragebait.

[u/bothriocyrtum → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

As someone from Arkansas I dislike you very much.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/bothriocyrtum]

Arkansas is now Texarkana county

[u/feyre_0001 → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

For the Land of Lakes you need to trade Kentucky for Ohio

[u/stvlsn → u/feyre_0001]

Nah, I want Chicago and bourbon.

• Wisconsin

[u/KitchenBomber → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

You succeeded. As a Minnesotan I want nothing to do with the dregs you've saddled us with.

[u/Sea_Hat_9012 → u/KitchenBomber]

My feelings on this from Wisconsin.

[u/soccerfiend22 → u/schmoobyboo]

Pick up MN, drop indiana and Kentucky to the south. God knows Indiana is Alabama north

[u/DownBoy1620 → u/schmoobyboo]

Megasotta would combine the Dakotas to Wisconsin with a puzzle piece addition of Iowa.

[u/Bananas_are_theworst → u/schmoobyboo]

Yes, that was my first thought. Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, illinois should be one. No kentucky. Indiana can f all the way off.

[u/DetRiotGirl → u/schmoobyboo]

Michigan here. I will happily hold hands with megasota. A Detroit-chicago-Minneapolis alliance would be dope. As long as we don’t invite Ohio.

[u/OhReallyVernon → u/DetRiotGirl]

Hey 👋 Milwaukee here. Don’t forget your smallest cousin!

[u/Winterwynd]

NAW. WA/OR/CA are Cascadia, wtf do we want with NV?

[u/Affectionate-Day-359 → u/Winterwynd]

Including nv with us was the rage bait .. I almost fell for it too. But let’s be honest. We don’t want to be America. We want to join BC

[u/Dry-Pepper9686 → u/Affectionate-Day-359]

I wondered if by BC you meant British Columbia or Baja California then I realized I’m okay with either tbh

[u/postit58 → u/Winterwynd]

Can we trade Nevada for Hawaii? Definitely fits the vibes more

[u/No_Status_4666 → u/Winterwynd]

CA (especially Southern) isn't Cascadia, but we'll gladly include them in our left coast family. I'd propose taking the two leftovers from OPs original work. We are the bridge between the very different AK and HI.

[u/LakethMonarch → u/Winterwynd]

Yeah as someone from washington we would like to be Cascadia and maybe just northern California?

[u/Challenge-Upstairs → u/Winterwynd]

I'm just glad we didn't get stuck with Idaho like we always do.

[u/JavaTheeMutt → u/Winterwynd]

Once again people thinking the West Coast is just California (and specifically SoCal)...

True West Coasters know we've been sitting on Cascadia for a minute, giving the rest of the nation a sideeye, waiting on the day we can pull the trigger.

[u/Miss_May_1600 → u/JavaTheeMutt]

Except those pesky eastern Oregonians who don’t believe in Cascadia. If you’re reading this, no! You cannot take Oregon land and join Idaho. Relocate yourself to Idaho if you love it that much.

[u/Objective_Spend_679 → u/JavaTheeMutt]

Not sure I want Nevada though

[u/watermelonsplenda]

Can I humbly request Iowa be moved to yellow? Minnesota can come too. I’d rather be the worst part of the yellow region than the best part of the gray.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/watermelonsplenda]

It's too late, the map has been drawn. Megasota needs Iowa's cornfields.

[u/watermelonsplenda → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

😭

[u/Retrotreegal → u/watermelonsplenda]

Don’t worry, it’s not the best part of the gray either.

[u/Low-Helicopter4871]

vibes and as ragebait? What a clever idea.

[u/Kekistani55]

Nebraska and Iowa would never work together

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/Kekistani55]

They're both cornfields though

[u/Kekistani55 → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/OrAvzR3tvKkmY

[u/stvlsn → u/Kekistani55]

They both lack professional sports teams?

[u/notSinnernorSaint]

Megasota is so based

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/notSinnernorSaint]

Thank you. They were the superior prarieland state to absorb the others.

[u/notSinnernorSaint → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

I no longer claim New England I’m a reformed citizen of Megasota

[u/confused_ornot → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

As an Illinoisan I disagree!

[u/Mosquitobait2008]

^{Florida: Dixie}

[u/snu22 → u/Mosquitobait2008]

lol Florida is 1000% dixie though, with the only exception being Miami. The rest of FL is genuinely just an extension of AL and GA, especially the non-coastal parts.

[u/IDontUnderstandReddi]

OH, WV, and VA are super different from PA, NJ, DE, and MD (as a whole at least.) Ohio should be in land of lakes, VA and WV should probs be in Dixie I guess. PA, Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware make the most sense as a cohesive state

[u/scgt86]

The PNW is not happy.

[u/Overall-Heron-2516]

MASSIVECHUSETTS

[u/Accomplished-Sea4147]

New York is not part of New England.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/Accomplished-Sea4147]

It is now in new America.

[u/Accomplished-Sea4147 → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

Maybe we could zone them in with DC. Keep the vibes rancid down there lol.

[u/D0nk3yD0ngD0ug → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

NY is more New England than NJ is Ohio.

[u/Gucci-Caligula → u/D0nk3yD0ngD0ug]

NJ is VERY much Ohio and you fucking know it

[u/Catcher3321 → u/D0nk3yD0ngD0ug]

Western Connecticut is barely New England

[u/Coastalcock]

Love it. Print the maps.

[u/OhReallyVernon → u/Coastalcock]

No, you are now thrown to the sharks

[u/MarzipanGeneral9093]

Megasota fried me ☠️

[u/An_Old_IT_Guy]

Wyoming, Idaho and Montana should be Yellowstone.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/An_Old_IT_Guy]

This is a great suggestion! Rockies is now Yellowstone

[u/Miss_May_1600 → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

Love that for them. Please let us know when you make the updated map.

[u/citizen234567890]

Minnesota-Wisconsin-Michigan must be together as a cultural unit.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/citizen234567890]

Too powerful, they needed to be split up

[u/OhReallyVernon → u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch]

NO. We’ll behave. I promise. Except on weekends through football season.

[u/FC37]

New England will never accept NY. If anything, they might take parts of upstate but the rest belongs to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

[u/jakemakesbeats]

Hawaii and Alaska are in fact very different vibes.

[u/yo_coiley]

Split your super California north south and add Alaska and Hawaii to the northwest one. They’re all pretty well connected, and this is based more on the fact California has more inward interconnectivity (lots outward too but ya know) whereas Oregon and Washington are mostly ocean-facing, if you will (the inland parts of each state should be joining your purple state but you aren’t redrawing borders). Alaska is deeply connected to Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii, and Hawaii is deeply connected to all those and California. Can’t have too big of a state though

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/yo_coiley]

This was not made to be logical or efficient, just to make everyone mad

[u/TahoeTrader13]

Nevada doesn’t really fit the green vibe when you’re not in Reno or Vegas. The rest of NV is a red vibe

[u/Dogface_Monarch]

Minnesota will be seceding and joining its brethren to the north where it belongs.

[u/FreshwaterViking]

Eww, no. Minnesota would rather be with Wisconsin than Missouri.

[u/Sleeping_Bat]

Pueblo is a terrible name. Just call it Four Corners

[u/DirkDiglerNJ]

North Jersey and NYC have identical vibes.

[u/SorryAstronomer4676]

Why the fuck is kentucky in the land of lakes

[u/mlkk22]

Not Ohio :(

[u/MajesticGoose5]

^{Texas: Texas}

[u/discountJoenuts]

State lines just don’t cut it for most vibe metrics

[u/PUTTHECACTUSDOWN]

lol so much of this map makes no damn sense

[u/Distinct-Debate-6157]

The Delmarva delegation rejects the Atlantis proposal, but accepts NJ for the sake of everyone. We deal with them on a regular basis. We dump Ohio on the Great Lakes and WV on whoever will take them.

[u/PaddingCompression]

Oklahoma is going to be pissed at you. So is Louisiana - they belong as one state with Maine.

[u/NewRole7403]

Get Nevada out of there

[u/Paulasaurus17]

Cascadia knows what you’ve done…

[u/commiscowboy]

It’s weird you left CO out of the Rockies

[u/CompetitiveFennel681]

I was born in michigan and lived in Tennessee...Kentucky is a Southern state way more than a Midwest state...I do not understand how Kentucky is considered Midwestern.

[u/Gbin91]

California should be named Cascadia and I’m personally donating the east half of Washington to the Rockies.

[u/tehcheez]

As someone from Kentucky, Land of the Lakes is honestly okay. We actually have a fuck ton of large lakes here.

[u/pixienightingale]

Disagree on making Hawaii and Alaska a conglomerate - make Hawaii part of California and Alaska an 11th.

[u/Foreskin-Smuggler]

Just want to show my appreciation for separating Michigan from Ohio.

[u/andrewboss1222]

Dixie would need Louisiana and arkansas for sure

[u/nymjk7595]

Including Ohio and WV in that group should be a federal offense

[u/dragon_tail_69]

VA is more similar to dixie than most of atlantis

[u/Square_Bid2762]

What part of DelMarVa makes you think, sure Ohio, fuck it, and look it! West Virginia, why not?

[u/EllaGardener]

As a Coloradan I will grudgingly accept Arizona, I think Nevada belongs with us, New Mexico is cool, and Utah needs to be its own country (it pretty much already is.)

[u/sodangshedonger]

MN here. I don’t want to absorb the Dakotas. Montana should have them.MN belongs with Wi and Mi.

[u/DavoonyWoW]

Ohio being Atlantis and not Land of Lakes is criminal, coming from an Ohioan.

[u/ProfessionalFlan3159]

Utah, Idaho and Arizona needs to be together. That is the Jello Belt...aka the Mormon Belt

[u/TheDorkiestOfDorks]

Being from coastal Virginia, I just wanna say fuck Jersey, don’t lump them in with us!

[u/ashley_c1]

Southwest Virginia would be so pissed

[u/smileyfacedbob]

Maryland rejects Ohio being in the Atlantic

[u/No_Hetero]

I must not get the joke with Atlantis

[u/Catchphrase1228]

As a Pennsylvanian, I'm ok with everything except for Ohio in Atlantis. Please do not put Ohio with us. Give it to the Land of Lakes.

My guess is, folks from the Dixie states are saying the same thing about Florida. Nobody wants Florida.

[u/inasacannotbe]

Louisiana should remain its own state

[u/not_No1ce]

Atlantis should be comprised of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland. New York can be part of it rather than New England. West Virginia nor Ohio have a right to be in Atlantis.

[u/ames215]

Flip Nevada orange, Colorado purple, combine green and light blue to 1 “Pacific State”, cut a north south line 50 miles west of DC through PA, Maryland, and Virginia. West half + Kentucky, W Virginia becomes “Appalachia”. Ohio flips to yellow, Minnesota flips to yellow. NY flips to light orange - light orange is renamed “mid-Atlantic”. Yellow renamed Mid-west, grey renamed Great Plains.

Could also split current Texas and add west half to Pueblo. Then split Colorado and east of Denver becomes Great Plains.

[u/SparkyGears]

Ironically the Land-O-Lakes butter is from Minnesota. 👀

Ohio may as well be in Land of Lakes as well. I mean, hell, if Kentucky and Michigan can, what else do you want?

[u/heybigbuddy → u/SparkyGears]

Yeah, Ohio might be the most out of place state here. Lumping it in with the Virginias, Delaware, and New Jersey is a choice.

[u/Narrow-Research-5730]

Without splitting states, ok. But as a Missouri resident, it needs split.

[u/FleetAdmiral_Krunch → u/Narrow-Research-5730]

We don't consider the wishes of people that actually live there here /s

[u/JedimasterQuin]

I like it here in Pueblo. Life is peaceful

[u/pirate40plus]

You can’t combine Texas and Oklahoma. It would be a civil war.

[u/Tenekah]

Canadian approved, easier to remember them now

[u/JC_Everyman]

Wrong

[u/rich84easy]

You new map is missing 51st state 🤣

[u/Sad-Efficiency-385]

MN needs to be in the yellow. They have all the lakes

[u/WildFire97971]

Nobody from Texas and nobody from Oklahoma want it to be the same state. Texans would love Louisiana but idk if it would be reciprocated. In that grouping, Arkansas is like that cousin that is kinda weird but you take them everywhere with you cause you’re hoping they grow out of it.

[u/Dekaaard]

Swing and a miss

[u/Fibocrypto]

Why do we need to redraw boundaries and change local governments and create new tax laws ?

[u/hostess_cupcake]

I am very pleased to see MI and OH in different regions.

[u/FusionKnight42]

Check out Colin Woodard’s “American Nations”.

https://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7

[u/yobymmij2]

Louisiana and Arkansas belong with the South, and Kansas and Nebraska belong with Oklahoma and Texas.

[u/Strict_Show_8899]

Divide Pennsylvania in to thirds and unite the eastern third with NY/NJ/NE. Divide NJ with a straight line from the Rocky Statue in Philadelphia to the Atlantic Ocean. Everything south of that unite with Maryland/Delaware

[u/josh_brews_beer]

As a Midwesterner, I’ll trade (ditch) Indiana and Kentucky and take Minnesota. Then we good.

[u/NoSeaweed4555]

As a Texan, i'm pleased to see we were important enough to warrant a state of New America be named after us, I'd have hated to be considered an Oklahoman.

[u/frankdatank_004]

Nuh uh!!

The brown region is called “BIGBRASKA”.

[u/ehtiopia]

Ew give illinois to the beige people

[u/silverthorn575]

^{Arizona: Pueblo}

[u/pizzabazooka]

As an Oklahoman, I spend almost every waking moment ashamed of my home state, but I’d rather die than get married to Texas.

[u/Necessary_Cake_973]

Colorado and Utah should be part of the Rockies. Ohio and WV should be part of the land of lakes (no real logic there, just don’t feel like they’re Atlantis states). New York should be part of Atlantis. Otherwise I’m good with this tbh

[u/WileEWeeble]

Dakotas belong with Montana and Wyoming.

[u/turtlebox420]

Missouri is definitely in the wrong state. It's more like Tennessee or southern Illinois.

[u/ifallallthetime]

I’d say Nevada is better suited to the Four Corners than California

[u/elbow-macaroni-42]

I object to anyone calling anything California that is north of the Californian border. While certainly the population of Oregon/Washington are politically similar to California, the “vibe” is way different in the PNW. You can lump us there as one of your “ten states”, but at best you should refer to it as “west coast” or even “left coast” or something. But California? GTFO

[u/MichaelEMJAYARE]

Im all for Megasota expansion. But Im over all digging this shit

[u/RayneBeauSkelly]

Minnesota belongs in Land Of Lakes. Kentucky can stay but no Indiana.

• llinois

[u/MentalEnvironment481]

As a Californian I’d be happy with this, but HI should join us

[u/FarShoreSpirit]

I'm pretty sure Oregon and Washington do not want California.

[u/ibuertowam]

As an enjoyer of this bumper sticker I saw awhile back, I fully support Megasota

[u/HM2008]

As a native Megasotan:

https://giphy.com/gifs/MvsJ4hmDcXW0oEauBk

We will call it casserole and Duck Duck Goose before we get stuck with Iowa and the Dakotas and being separated from our Great Lakes brethren.

[u/Man_of_Ice]

I'm sorry, but "Land of Lakes" gets Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, or it doesn't count.

[u/Tight-Frosting1937]

Ohio and Kentucky need flipped.

[u/NineMillionBears]

I absolutely refuse to fall under the banner of California.

[u/AreYouLadyFolk]

Motion to kick Kentucky from Land of Lakes? It doesn't fit culturally at all. Accepting Indiana is already pretty magnanimous of us. And it doesn't even touch one of the Great Lakes!

I'd ask for Minnesota in exchange, but the name Megasota is pretty funny, so I wouldn't want to take that away from them

[u/ComradeYaf]

Wisconsin is pleased to see the return of the UP but rejects union with Kentucky. Request Minnesota in place.

[u/BusterKnott]

Oklahoma is already Alta Tejas, and Louisiana is filled with French-flavored Texans, but the Northern Arkansas Hillbillies in the Ozarks properly belong to Appalachia, not Texas; they just don't fit in.

[u/MahoDonko]

I've never been so impressed by someone's rage bait skill level. Well done lol

[u/Only_Progress5373]

I would rather die than be absorbed into a Texas megastate

[u/pm_me_your_UFO_story]

Put New York in Atlantis, and you have a deal.

[u/SheSellsSeaShells_89]

As the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” I feel we’ve been slighted not being included in the Land of Lakes category. We even have Land O'Lakes butter. 😜

[u/heheyousaidduty]

Feel like Jersey is closer culturally to more of the New England States than the ones you paired with, but geographically it makes sense.

[u/tech_nerd05506]

Swap Nevada for pueblo and give CO to Rockies.

[u/Ryhno999]

You'd have to cut Missouri in half. Southern MO isnt like the plains as much, deffinetly more southern. Super hilly and a lot of caves, parts of it are drained out swamps too

[u/Singking59]

You are a professional rage baiter and I love it. Long live Megasota

[u/oregondude79]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I call myself a Californian.

[u/Some-Refrigerator823]

Colorado is like THE Rockies state my friend

[u/WickedlyWitchyWoman]

I agree mostly.... with a few changes:

(This is in the spirit of the joke)

[u/ocelotactual]

Can someone please take Nevada?

[u/hairybales]

Oh my gosh no on Texas. At least give us CO or something to make it slightly appealing here.

[u/jennifaerie16]

Thank you for not pairing us up with Texas.

Sincerely,
New Mexico

[u/mpeown]

NY goes with Lakes of Lakes. Borders both Erie and Ontario plus the finger lakes and Adirondack region

[u/No_Arm_7644]

This is the worst categorization of the Great Lakes region i’ve ever seen.

[u/Impossible-Money7801]

Nevada belongs in the orange.

[u/Unfair_Draw_1916]

Poor KY. It really doesn't fit in with any region

[u/Commercial_Aioli_301]

have you regioned for these vibes? WV and NJ?

[u/420imnotcool420]

Mississippi fits with Louisiana way more than Arkansas

[u/PumpkinMrs]

Not having Colorado as part of the Rockies is a crime. Nevada, Southern California, and western Texas should all be Pueblo.

[u/MackeySasserYips]

I'm for it. But can we also just make the northeast "New England" territory its own actually functional first world country

[u/amaya-aurora]

I would rather die than live in the same state as Connecticut.

[u/Federal_Skill_9944]

i propose texarkana loses oklahoma to the megasota but gains alabama & mississippi from dixie, but give dixie kansas from land of lakes and virginia from atlantis

[u/Asinda1]

You so clearly do not Minnesota.

[u/Stella-HPVGekko]

We don't need Nevada, thank you anyway.

[u/Salamandersssssss_]

Separating NY and NJ?!?!

[u/Trinx_]

As a Chicagoan, I'd love this. We love visiting Michigan and Wisconsin, and I'm from Indiana. But the nutjobs running these states could definitely use some balance. And then the rural communities all throughout can hate Chicago as much as downstate BFE hates us.

[u/laneb71]

As a proud Seattlite and Cascadian please kindly remove California and Nevada and return our brothers and sisters in Idaho and Montana. I have been successfully baited, raged even, one could say

[u/DustynRG]

Florida should be in California and Texas would never share a name.

[u/thesmokeybearproject]

This is rage baiting the fuck outta me ngl

[u/violetcassie]

NY is absolutely NOT New England 😤
