Better organized states

Should've organized them alphabetically too

Much better to organize it by water systems, with some additional divisions for the Mississippi system ans consolidation of smaller systems not seperated by mountain ranges.

Some choices were definitely made here.

Uh oh. Looks like someone messed with Texas.

So the states get gradually smaller as you go north? Got it.

I moved from Pennsylvania back home to Minnesota a decade ago. Didn't expect it to move back to me.

Lol. California just became The State of Los Angeles

I see we've forgotten our non-contiguous siblings.

But more to the point, why not just arrange them alphabetically while we're here?

Gerrymanderers hate this one trick...

Since it’s not my country I vote for going diagonally

Ooo, I like this! Now I want to see a map where the area of each state is proportional to its population, but still fitting together in a recognizable way.

I'm not sure which state is furthest from it's original position, but Indiana seems quite far from home.

We are just gonna give South Carolina the outer banks? No. Redraw these lines, pls thnx

South Carolina is Worst Carolina and they deserve nothing but the highway that runs through the state so people can get out quickly.

This hurts.

At first I was pissed thinking I don't want to live in Virginia or Maryland then I was like why the hell is Maryland south of Virginia?

I love this map. It breaks my brain in so many ways!

Arkansas straight up deleted from existence.

Edit: it’s west of Oklahoma!

Can't believe someone finally won the Toledo War. Really didn't expect it to be Rhode Island

Maine be like "You guys changed the map?"

I guess we're just moving New Orleans to Galveston, Biloxi can take over the old location, though personally it feels very threatening to have Mississippi move back to me!

There are now two Kansas Cities in Ohio

This is delightful chaotic organization.

Georgia and Florida are already kind of like that, culturally speaking.

[ANGRY PENNSYLVANIAN NOISES]

texas could honestly be a bit smaller. other states could make better use of that space

Boooooo!

Edit: I am pleased Ohio is in Oklahoma now.

New Jersey moves to Minnesota. That...

Yeah that tracks.

This is unironically an improvement for Washington and Oregon.

I'm not sure what giving NJ a giant flaccid water dong that just barely enters Virginia is supposed to symbolize, but I'm here for it.

I think.

The idea that Connecticut shares a border with Alabama and SC is fundamentally cursed

NTY, I do not want to live where Ohio is.

Settle down, Jefferson.

Made New York even richer and more influential, while nerfing most of the competition.

Do all the people from the state move too, or is this just redrawn boundaries? Because if it's the former, California and Texas are going to be a bad time.

I like this - it puts the Midwest where I assumed it was, before finding out that it's actually where I would want to call the 'Mideast'.

Ain't no way south Dakota is that far left

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.

Do any people have to move? Do the governors have to move prior to next election?

A more perfect union

I can't exactly tell but I think this map would have me living in Ohio. So, I'd rather not thank you.

Damn my brain loves this for some reason.

Went from Iowa to West Virginia. The politics are the same, just... Less teeth now.

So Rhode Bay instead? It definitely isn't an island.

Based on the Houstonians (as well as other Texans) I know, you'd have one hell of a riot in Louisiana.

Wow, you accurately maintained their shapes and everything!

Aww, Delaware is so ugly now.

Florida and California are gonna be pissed
