I have a slight issue with this - Mainly, none of these folks exist in Atlasia - to Atlasians, they're all foreign.

However, if I'm outnumbered by a veto-proof majority, all I request is that Indiana be changed to Lugar, even Bayh if it comes down to it. But Debs? Please no.

I thought the idea of Atlasia was that it was a continuation/reboot/improvement of the United States since 2004?

While I'd rather name the states after leaders that have passed on, I would be cool with naming Indiana Lugar if you are willing to approve the bill.

As long as Ohio can be changed from Taft to Johnson (Cleveland Mayor Tom Johnson).  I think speak for most Ohioans when I say that I am strongly opposed to calling our state Taft.  That name is pretty much dead to the state after Bob Taft's tenure.

What about Grant or Sherman? For Grant, I am thinking more of his Civil War service then his 2 terms as President.

Yeah, Michigan would from now on be called Ford, Virginia would be called Jefferson, etc.

But if we're legally changing the name, that would have to be a constitutional amendment, and it may even conflict with federal law.

The Midwest already did it with just a regular law, why cant't we. 

Like I said, only the Midwest gets to have different state names. For us to try and copy that would look asinine, to be honest.

I don't see the problem with the Mideast trying something similar but different.
