Which countries have states? Australia and Canada, of course (counting province as just a different name for it). I guess Mexico as well, although I usually think of the country as one single unit. Do most countries have states, or their equivalent? I guess I’m just ignorant here.
I just put out a call for those last 10 states, here.
Hopefully we’ll get them soon!
Bar Nunn, Wyoming.
Thanks, Bullitt! I see South Carolina and West Virginia have received votes in John DiFool’s poll (over in IMHO); hopefully they’ll post here as well. I haven’t resorted to PMs yet!
I would think if the country is big enough it would be broken down into smaller units for the sake of communication and coordination. E.g., Germany has 25 states, and Peru has 25 regions which are subdivided into 194 provinces.
Wyoming! That’s cool.
ETA: Bar Nunn, had to look that up on the map. I see you’re off of I-25, just north of Casper. Sounds like beautiful country out thatta way.

I’m in Texas – Nobody else fighting ignorance down here, so I must be alone.

I know we have active Dopers in some of those states. It is just a matter of time until they stumble across this thread. Zsofia can kick SC off the list for instance.
One troubling state is Delaware. We have debated about whether it actually exists or not a number of times and never come up with firm proof that it does. If it doesn’t (like I personally believe), you are going to need a rep logging in from one of the many corporations “based” there to account for it.
Isn’t our esteemed Wombatastic mod in Montana?
Nope. Iowa here.
Didn’t there used to be a participant on the Dope with the posting name “Mississippienne”? Though maybe she was born in that state, but no longer resident there.
vontsira (in UK, county of West Midlands !)

Piffle. Where do you think Joe Biden always took the train home to every night, the Island of Sodor?
I’m in what some call the 51st State of America.
Also known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for short.
