East Dakota and West Dakota

Dey ain't trees, doh.

Well there's a West Virginia but no East Virginia.

I love doing quizzes where you have to fill them in on a map. Wisconsin and Missouri often trip me up. Feckers.

I moved from Indiana to Texas last week. Its a remarkable thing traveling through the states as you get further south, the little signs that you're entering the southern states (seeing the road kill turning from racoons to armadillos, seeing waffle houses and other "southern" chains proliferate, the churches get bigger and creepier looking). The sheer strangeness of the south too, and the heat, but especially the diversity, its failure to live up to the lazy stereotypes we have about the place.

But more on topic, we went through Arkansas. There's a state I would imagine most of us know nothing about, even as stereotypes. It is, in terms of landscape, as boring as anywhere I've ever been (and I lived in INDIANA). But I realised that other than bill Clinton i literally know nothing about the place. It seems so non descript. It's actually got one of the poorest regions in the nation, the Ozarks, which is basically a hillbilly region, but it also borders Tennessee at Memphis, and Texas at Texarkana, it has a weird in between kind of nowhere feel. I dunno if I'm doing justice to the feeling of being in a place like that, where someone from Ireland would never think to visit or even work probably, an odd alien kind of feeling. Like it's still America but an odd uncanny feeling like you're not really meant to be there at all.

That's Arkansas.

I guess we take in so much info about certain States and cities, NY, California, Washington DC and Texas because of tv and film (Alexander Payne has really put Omaha and Nebraska on the map). There is also that Irish link with Boston and of course Butte. And then other interests are gonna colour in other regions, I like the Green Bay Packers and the Civil War, so naturally would notice anything about Wisconsin and, say, Tennessee.

But then you're gonna hit lots of States like the Arkansaseseses, and it's true...apart from the Clintons it's hard to think of any other reference.

I hate you, especially with your "off by heart" confidence.

Why is this misinformation so prevalent? It's 50. A nice round number. 50 stars on the flag for 50 states. Hawaii was the last to join the union making it the 50th. Ever hear of Hawaii 5-0?

I could name all 50 state capitols! Just listing off the states is passé. Plus, when listing the states I do it geographically, starting with Washington. Great man for a pub quiz team, I am. :rolleyes:

If anyone is remotely interested, West Virginia is the only state created out of an existing state.

In the run-up to the Civil War, Virginia was 70% for secession and joining the Confederacy (South).

Some of the western counties of Virginia were abolitionist and wanted to remain in the Union (North).

When Virginia seceded from the United States, the western counties immediately seceded from Virginia itself.... to form West Virginia.

War came and West Virginia stood tall with the Yankees, thus fighting their neighbours in Virginia

I could probably name most U.S states but I would struggle to name half the 28 EU states ( I had to google that there are 28).

As they're not part of the lower 48 they come in 2nd last, only before the obvious 50th.
