At least if your state is North Dakota, apparently. Seems there was a bit of a constitutional whoopsie.

It's okay, no one lives there anyway.

Point of Order: It's not North Dakota anymore. It's just Dakota now.

Also, the states if they were defined by areas where people generally use cell phones to communicate with each other -

By Patrick Appel
Alex Goldmark explains a novel map:

This is what our state lines might look like if we drew them based on who actually talks with each other, at least according to cell phone data gathered by MIT. These are the geographic clusters of who texts with whom within an area, from the MIT Senseable City Lab's Connected States of America mapping project.

Old news is old. And lacking in wingnuttery to make it worth discussing further.

I dig the separation of Northern and Southern California on that map. As it bloody well should be!

LoL @ California, no wonder the south wants to secede! Also loving the split between NYC and the rest of the state. (Damn Right) They can have New Jersey.

Change that to Quebec and you got yourself a deal, mister!

I don't want Montana! Everyone I've met from there is a jerk! And Nick, what the hell! I love Quebec! I WILL WAGE WAR OVER THIS, ADAM WAYNE STYLE.

Hell no, we don't want Quebec. All my eBay troubles came from Quebec, every single freaking one of them.

We can't take Ontario! Then where would I go to legally drink and gamble?

If you guys give us Ontario, we'll consider also taking Quebec.

Don't worry Gusto, I fight as much for Ontario as Quebec in the coming battles!

We can't give them South Dakota.

At least not until we move Mount Rushmore to, say, Houston (hey, we gotta do something to make up for the shuttle...)
