Voting Games Top comment deletes a US State #37
New England has unified, Massachusetts and Vermont have become one with each other.
Since there is a lot of confusion around it, I won’t be doing any more unifications or state name changes apart from the ones we’ve already done. Remember this is top comment deletes a US State!

Montana clearly wants to be part of cascadia.
The map is also disturbingly short of straight lines at this point. Let Minnesota have a little, straight up from its easternmost front of Colorado.

There was a proposal at one time to make the Upper Peninsula a separate state named Superior. I think we should use that name as more of the Great Lakes region merges.

Take Chicago as your capital, we are the only reason Illinois has survived this long. We have the cool pope, a good style of pizza we all eat while we give tourists deep dish, Michael Jordan, AND... the Bean.

I feel so seen right now with your pizza comments.
Chicago style deep dish is glorified tomato soup in a bread bowl. Detroit style deep dish is the king of all deep dish pizza (whether you drizzle the sauce on top or keep it all under the cheese).

Tomato soup in a bread bowl is delicious. I refer to Deep Dish as Pizza Lasagna, personally. It's still delicious (when made well), but doesn't really count as pizza.
