Alternate US States

[Californian Tony]

Oh damn, I think you guys are being a bit too optimistic there... I'll do my best but I really can't tell you how soon you will have it updated... You know, I've so many things to do (Senate business could take a lot of time for example )...

I really don't want to disappoint you, and I will do my best not to. But please don't expect too much too soon.

I feel like NOVA would split from Virginia as well and possibly be it's own state.

You're right, that's something worth thinking about. Otherwise, why not giving it to Maryland along with DC ?

You could incorporate it into DC and make DC it's own state as well. Maryland doesn't need it.

Isn't DC basically part of the metro area that also includes Baltimore and all ? Reuniting them makes sense IMO.

The makes sense, but I feel like they should all be reunited as their own entity. I don't think it should all go to Maryland.

The only difference is the name of the State.

Fair enough.

does anyone here know how to make maps. I want to make a map of a state called Wabash (couldn't think of a better name). It includes the following CDs: OH 4, OH 8, IN 3-9, IL 15, IL 19, IL 12, MO 4, MO 7, MO 8, KS 1, KS 2, KS 4, and NE 3.

You have to use paint.

I can give you Washington, if you want.

Nah, I swear I will finish this project, some day.

I really enjoy it, but it's just too time-consuming for me to restart it now.

[JulioMadrid]

I couldn't find the topic where we posted a map which favors democrats or republicans, so I'll post it here. tell me what you think about it :

[JulioMadrid]

can you see it?

[Mynheer Peeperkorn von Thurn und Taxis-Hohenlohe]

Great thread.

[ottermax]

I just found this and it's incredible! I'd love to see it continued. Great work.

[Californian Tony]

I know I should continue this some day... Unfortunately there are many other projects I'm working on right now, and I don't have much free time. I doubt anything will come before this summer, at best.

can you see it?

That map is frightening

*sigh*  I'd be rushing to get out of downstate even faster if this was the case.

[Californian Tony]

Oh God I really must finish this! I hate myself for abandoning this project.

I promise I'll do my best to restart this, but University starts again on Jan 19 and I fear the time is too short for me to work out all I want to do.

Among other things, I'm dissatisfied with my Oregon/Washington divide, and I also would like to review a few States like Florida and Texas. And I don't like how the Dakotas and Nebraska are all merged together. There should be a better way to work all this out. Any advise on this domain is very welcome.

[Jack Enderman]

Hi, if its the counties is your trouble, maybe you should just mush and mash the county lines a bit to make huge counties. Like OTL Southeast California, and western Texas! Also DO COUNTINUE
