I love the tiny islands of states left in Meggachusetts’ wake. Imagine being a road worker who has to commute across Meggachusetts to service the one road in Northeast Kansas
Massivechussets was right there man
The way this ignores the curvature of the Earth bothers me SO MUCH. That had better be intentional trolling…
This reminds me of the old maps of the post revolutionary war US where the colonies just kind of claim any land to the west of them to essentially infinity.
This was particularly fun for Connecticut because Pennsylvania was in the way so they just claimed everything west of Pennsylvania but Pennsylvania didn’t have a western border till like 1800ish so I’d assume that was a fun one those two states argued about pre Ohio.
Interesting way of depicting alaska
Next level gerrymandering over here!
The European mind cannot comprehend this
Looks like they also propose to move Alaska to mexico, for them to become almost neighbor to Texans
I think that’s the weirdest part of the map. Hawaii gets a black box, but Alaska and bits of Canada just get tacked on to Mexico.
It would make visiting them much easier
Is that 5 nfl teams in one state?
I think it would be, the New England Patriots, LA Chargers and Rams, Cleveland Browns, Hammond Bears. Maybe Las Vegas Raiders though I think they are far enough away to not be included.
I mean, early on many states had real claims to the west that looked almost exactly like this.

It’s funny how initial colonial charters just let them claim land all the way to the Pacific without really knowing how far away that was.
Connecticut originally claimed land all the way to the Mississippi river
Now we know why it’s called connect-i-cut.
I mean, “Massivechusetts” was right there.
What happened to Rhode Island‽ Massivechusetts would include land from NY, PA, OH, MI, IN, Il, IA, MO, NE, KS, CO, UT, NV, AZ, and CA possibly part of CT as well…
I assume Megachusetts ate it as a snack while it was evolving.
