The guy had a lot of ideas. Many of them good!
This was not one of them.

Didn’t he basically envision a sort of agrarian nation filled with farms? Was urban industry even on his mind?

I’m proud to be an… Assenisipian?
Not sure how the sports mascots would have changed…

What’s the source for the southern States? The northern States were proposed in the draft for the 1784 land ordinance, but that was only relevant for lands north of the Ohio river.

‘Sylvania’ feels like it would have raised eyebrows in Pennsylvania

Nibbling off the SW corner of PA for his home state.
Ol Tommy Boy didn’t think having one state named Pennsylvania and another Sylvania may be confusing?
All the vampyres would live in the north west
“Metropotamia” is giving me steampunk Babylonian vibes
Polypotamia – ok get it. The Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio converge.
Metropotamia – is this metro like city? Or metro like mother? And if so, what river is inspiring this name? The Detroit river?
Source? How do we know this is really his map?
Long live METROPOTAMIA
We are now Metropotamiganders. I love it.
Now I want to write a parody of the B-52’s song Mesopotamia about Metropotamia
We need to talk about “Chersonesus”
“Straight line?”
“Straight line.”
I’ll admit, Metropotamia slaps.
Chersonesus? Aka the Greek predecessor of Kherson in Ukraine?
Ok but Metropotamia goes incredibly hard. It makes me want like a cyberpunk game with aesthetics based on Mesopotamia.
Buddy got creative with those names
I guess it could have been worse for Wisconsin. Michigan—we want what’s rightfully ours!! Free the UP.
Metropotamia is a very fun name

Having Pennsylvania and Sylvania is like Arkansas and Kansas!
Can’t use a natural boundary to save his life.
You do you, USA, but we are NOT going to take responsability for Louisiana.
Man went slap happy on the Boggle when making up these names
