Illinois: Land of Dagon
The Netherlands…uhm allready sounds kind of loveraftian
Ia! Ia! New Orleans ftaghn! Ia! Ia! New Orleans ftaghn!
I’ll show myself out.
Maryland: The Old Line of Death State, The State of Madness, Despair, and Crushing Horror.
“Unspeakable Deeds, Blasphemous Words.”
Idaho: The land of sinister bulbous underground tubers and right-wing uber-zombies
“Florida: Where Cthulhu gets a tan.”
“Florida: Where Cthulhu goes to retire.”
"Florida: Where Cthulhu got elected for President.’
“Delaware: The First State…to be eaten.”
Ohio:
With Cthulhu, all things are possible.
The heart of it all will be the first to be eaten.
Minnesota, “land of the infinite eternal unholy terrors”
Wisconsin, “Sanity check!”
Vermont: The Green Mountains are crawling with unspeakable leprous eldritch monstrosities.
(Hey, you read The Whisperer in Darkness, didn’t you? Set in Vermont!)
Excellent.
Also:
Delaware: The home of mind-taxing insanity.

Disclaimer: I’ve never read Lovecraft, just going off his internet presence. anyhow, here goes…
(Hamilton is New Zealand’s fourth city. For a while it had a much derided slogan Hamilton, city of the future, these days called the 'tron, or H-town)
Hamilton, precinct of a future of unthinking automations unhesitatingly tearing into the denizens of pathetic hovels as the heavens above shine indifferently, a beacon of the final migration of weary elders whereupon completion of their quest, their pitiable shells of vitality crumble to permit tentacles of misshapen, alien Taniwha of the cretaceous to snatch their consciousness and carry them, submersed helplessly, to drown a screaming death in the oceanic sludge of the abyssal plain.
Right. Back to work…
Ohio: The Crawling Pallid Glassy Buckeye from Beyond State.
Minnesota, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” is now “The Land of Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young.”
Virginia = The great parasitic slime-mold; the gnawing, controlling, ignorant and bigoted mass which feeds through its great sucking organ of legislature upon the productive, progressive and high-minded entity known as “NOVA.”
What? Bitter? Not me, why do you ask?
“America: where all of Shub-Niggurath’s thousand young can go on welfare.”
Equally valid for California and Florida, the moniker, “With strange eons, even death may die”.
North Carolina’s should be “We’re trying to be like Georgia”

Suppose with me, as it were hypothetically, that the eternal gibbering shrieks of the shambling mongrel Washinnsmouthians of the witch-haunted District of Cthulhu (separated from the familiar reality and logic of this planet and realm of space by the impassable Belt of Madness that doth swallow its tail as the Worm Ouroboros, within, or beyond, which fearful legend whispers that the hidden scribe-kings and sessile war-chiefs of the Aimless City endlessly repeat arcane rites of incomprehensible origins and unfathomable purpose) for initiation into the Inmost Circle of the tenebrous and necrophagous cultus of the United States of Arkham were, at last after strange aeons, satiated with an offering perversely beseeming, in its abominable and impious transgression of the ancient and terrifying geasa of the night-whispered Codex Constitutionalis: Id est, the precipitate induction of their representative wizard-priests into the Unholy Synod and the House of Re-Animators, plenary empowered to perform the puissant and blasphemous Rites of Fluurvohtt and Ph’ll’yehbastor.

Then would the huddled masses squirm and snake their venemous limbs through the cavernous distances from the Port of Richard and the Islands of Mariana and Phillip, the Islands of the Untouched Maiden and the overbuilt monstrosity of Goo-am. With their grasping, starving limbs would they reach, bearing their offerings of searing starlight and sap-sweet fruit, shrieking demands for recognition of their priests and inclusion in the foul rites forthwith.
