Before even factoring in politics, Pacific was my least favorite of the California states*. Now I have even more reason to make it my least favorite.
*(although considering my opinion of California in general, that still puts pretty high up on the list. )
What is your favorite new State, btw? I'm curious.
I'll go with California del Sur, although there are quite a few states that I like. Here's a map to show what I think of them:
The dark green is my top 10, the lighter green is the 10 just below them, the dark red is my bottom 10, the light red is the 10 just above them, and the 11 states in between are gray. For the sake of comparison, here is the same map using the OTL states:
Basically, a lot of my favorite states (warm and more heavily populated) were split up, while a lot of my least favorite ones (cold and less heavily populated) were merged together.
