The answer is clearly Florida, if you think about it enough.
Disney World alone would be a US exclave though.

I had a hard time choosing between California and Illinois, but The Land Of Fruits and Nuts got the heave ho in the end.
Texas. But it’s because of the football team, not all that other stuff!
How could Florida have so few votes? It’s the uncut penis of America.
I like Robert Ferrignos idea of ejecting Nevada, making it a basically a lawless state where Americans can go have all the hedonistic pleasures denied them in the own country. Win/win: Utah gets mode money and more freedom; USA gets a nice pressure relief valve that gets pulled when needed.
Serious Answer: Minnesota. A bunch of half-witted dough balls wandering around a gigantic mall eating hormel chili from a can while voting for a conspiracist ex wrestler for governor and Stuart smalley for senate. Seriously the smell. If you have ever been forced to travel by bus on a overnight trip you know “that smell”, the smell of a hundred unwashed sweaty human cattle lolling in their seats. Well ALL of Minnesota smells like this, from the crack house behind the has station in Coldspring to the Cargill mansion. And it’s starting to leak out into the rest of the country via the Mississippi. Must be stopped.
Texas. They’re so proud of their brief history as an independent republic that I think they should be one again.
North Dakota. It’s just a myth, anyway–like the Loch Ness Monster or Jimmy Neutron.
It’d be even better if we could sell it off to Mexico (wouldn’t that be good for a chuckle?), although they might actually be more interested in Texas.
I choose Illinois. Mainly since it was the first state I saw when I scrolled down.
Florida. For all the “people from nonflorida states do this/don’t do that”, every time I hear something really stupid it’s always from at least one Floridian. Let’s not forget Casey Anthony. Oh wait. She wasn’t “guilty”. :mad: I swear the average age a person give birth there must be like 15 with the average number of kids per family being about 15. I guess it’s a pretty ok place if you’re escaping Cuba or somewhere like that. Let the Cubans have the former Spanish colony.
South Carolina is the obvious choice for me. From the cruel rice plantations, crazy Calhoun, evil Brooks, and seditious secession through to racist Thurmond and idiot Wilson, half the suckiness in America comes from that one state.
It isn’t now?
Texas and Mississippi? Okay, I get that we’d lose some of the nastier politics (I assume that’s why most people picked them?), but they’ve both contributed so much to American culture and self-image. We’d lose Faulkner and the Mississippi Delta and the blues and country music and cowboys and Tex-Mex and Galveston and Austin. No thanks - I’ll keep 'em, even though they do drag down some of our international rankings. To me Arkansas sounds like the most boring state in the union. Only thing we’d miss is the historically important Little Rock High School.
Delaware. Who’d miss it?
Texas. Just…go. Just go. Go.
I voted Texas because, well, I’ve been there. Other than Austin, I know of no part of Texas that I would want to keep.
Another reason is the “we can leave anytime we want to” crap that I’ve heard from so many Texans. Something about they are the only state that had something in their letter of admission to the Union that said they could leave the Union whenever they want. Despite the fact that no such thing exists, I’ve heard multiple Texans blab about it.
So go already.
Texas. They keep talking about getting out, I say let 'em.
Casey Anthony was born in Warren, Ohio*. Almost every nutjob in Florida came here from somewhere else. If Florida can keep these people out then they’ll still be your problem, just somewhere else, like Texas or California or wherever it is that the nutjobs would then flock to.
*She didn’t move to Florida on her own, her nutjob parents brought her here.
I don’t totally discount the selection of Florida - it would sure make presidential politics different, and probably free up travel to Cuba for Americans.
Yep.
California.
Failing that, Florida. Seems like every horrific child murder story I see on the news happens in Florida. Plus 2000 showed they’re not bright enough to fill out a ballot.
Keep North Dakota for the oil and jobs. Goodbye, Rhode Island.
