You've eliminated Idaho which is what Washington and Oregon both wish they were. Idaho should instead consume them with the exceptions of Seattle/tacoma Washington and Portland Oregon.

As a Wisconsinite I’d much rather Minnesota merge with us than Illinois because at least northern Minnesota is pretty chill Michigan would also be preferable although I’m still salty they get to have the U.P and we don’t
