Should states be abolished?

No. You cannot imagine how many problems this would occur - imagine the arguments between who would get to keep certain city names.

"MY PORTLAND!" "NO, MY PORTLAND!"

That was exactly what I was thinking.

God knows how many Springfields America has.

Indeed. According to various sources, there are 92 locations officially named Springfield and 38 officially Census-recognized Springfields. Yikes.

Yeah but there are less than 92 states. Which kind of blows up the whole chain of reasoning that had been developing up till now.

Well, it's the Census-recognized part that counts.

There are 24 Springfields in the United States with their own ZIP codes, for instance. Many of the 92 I previously mentioned are minor locations, like a fork in the road where one of the roads is named Springfield Road and there is a gas station. There's a chance that the people who live in some of these places may not even know they're in a Springfield.
