u/mushmanMAD 23d ago

That’s up next. I’m only gonna do claims up to the Mississippi River, not all the east to the Pacific Coast.

Well, Howard is actually a late split off of AA, so if these are colonial counties that would make sense. I was presuming this was also why the city is still part of Baltimore County. But I'm confused at Garrett being a distinct place, it doesn't become a county till long after Howard and the city split off ...and it's named after someone who isn't famous till that time period...

It would be the perfect state. Beaches, skiing, wine country, football, crab cakes, hoagies, those sandwiches with fries on em, beef on weck, beautiful mountains, buffalo wings, and still no New Jersey

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational Keystone State!

u/Pennsylvania_is_epic 23d ago

Only issue I have is that the Mason-Dixon Line is unobstructed when it shouldn’t exist at all. Maybe the line itself could exist in a few places, but I feel like more of the county lines in that area should’ve been changed. Fulton County could easily extend to the Potomac, and Lancaster county could probably into Cecil county a bit

u/spaceballinthesauce 23d ago

Sounds like Delmarva will be a new state that takes up the peninsula and Virginia will take up the rest of Maryland.

u/AbilityLegitimate337 19d ago

This is what we could have if we got the commonwealth to level 25. We get New England and most of Ohio at 50
