What’s Rhode Island? Is that a new state?
Oh, they meant East Connecticut.
The great and powerful state of Newbraska?
Wouldn’t East California be more appropriate, given the counties to be included/excluded?
Six rows, alternating 9 and 8 stars. The present flag is nine rows, alternating 6 and 5 stars. The (6,9) <– (9,6) shape mismatch isn’t as bad as it sounds; you just need a modest spacing variation.
On a more serious note ( 
), shouldn’t we split the whole country into Redlandia and Bluelandia? I know the “red states” do have 45% blue-necks and vice versa, but perhaps there’d be a wave of migrations.
I’m still in favor of splitting the Bay Area off into it’s own state. And if it keeps Sonoma, it has a legitimate claim to keeping the old state flag.
(It’s just the right kind of flag for the people around here, too…one with a big red star and a bear on it. 
)
West West Virginia
It would finally make Kids in America make sense, too!
I just moved away from East North Carolina. According to the press coverage, North Carolina only exists west of Raleigh.
That’s just batty batty batty.
Is there any state that does not have at least two sections, both of which are ready to storm off in a huff just to piss off the other?

For the win!
Missoura and Missouri are separate states, silly.
Los Angeles California of Fresno.
Instead of S. California, how about* Cool-a-fornia*?
We should just break off the western counties of Maryland and give them to W. Virginia. And let Delaware have the whole damn peninsula, while we’re at it. The rest can be called “Northern DC.”
Where I came from L.A. meant Lower Akron. 
Would this be to lure Drakes into building a factory there and to bring jobs into the local economy? Would the new product be peanut butter or creme filled? How soon can shipments arrive at local convenience stores?
Well, I would like to split Illinois along the I-80 corridor, with the north as, well, whatever they want to be called (Daleyania? Chicagoland? Bribeton?), and the rest of us can stay Illinois. And I think this meets Bartman’s guidelines.
Newest Mexico?
Hos gotta eat, too!
Since it’ll mostly be desert, why not Arid-zone-uh?
We could split NJ. Everything in Monmouth & Mercer and onward south would still called NJ. North of that would now become “New Borough”.
Oops! My bad. I meant this one.
