What state's shape is the most aesthetically pleasing?

Tossup between Michigan and Texas for me.

Nevada will always stick in my mind as a memorable shape.

I like the simplicity of Colorado and Wyoming, but I have a strange fondness of the shapes of states with panhandles.

I like states that don't have straight borders. It's a reminder of how arbitrary our politics and our divisions are. That leaves, welp, just Hawaii come to think of it.

What about South Carolina? Aside from one stretch in the Northeast, it's fairly jagged.

Oklahoma often gets "panned," but I think it's great! LOL!

Iowa is where you go to get a-head, ha ha!

Know who was born in Michigan? "Mitt" Romney!

If you go to Louisiana and say something bad about it, you'll get the boot! Tee hee!

Florida is a ****.

New Jersey's borders are, except for a short stretch between PA and the Hudson in the North, also completely non-linear. Other than that, there really seems to be no state even coming close to non-straight lines as borders. Vermont maybe, expect for the border with MA?

Obviously biased, but PA has a nice shape, as does Iowa.

British Columbia also looks nice.
