Last night, we were joking about how we would change Pennsylvania from the Keystone State to the Pothole State, and Colorado to the Stoner State. We got to thinking that surely people from other places do stuff like this to make fun of their state.
So, what nickname would you give your state?
California: Land of Litigation.
The one in my location ->
Explained in my profile, or, for the lazy:
The Fly-Over State Of New England. Nothing much here except the roads, rails and air routes through to somewhere else. Which is pretty much the way it’s been since colonial days. Connecticut has almost zero actual Revolutionary War history, other than being the grocer and supplier to the other states.
…which makes an EXCELLENT 12,000th post, IMVHO, as it proves there’s nothing much here to do, either. 
Wisconsin: Smell our dairy air!

Since this is basically an informal poll, let’s move it to our polling forum.
Moving thread from General Questions to In My Humble Opinion.
I am from Oregon, somehow it seems like it should be called the Almost There State. Not exactly sure why, it just seems fitting.
I live in the Pothole State, by the way, but that answer was already taken by the OP.
Purgatory.
No, I live in the pothole state! Otherwise referred to as Michigan.
The Plains of Nada works for many parts of New Mexico. Or maybe it should be called the Post Apocalyptic State.
Florida: The batshit crazy state.
Really? I’m proud of Oregon. A right-to-die state, vote by mail, legal marijuana, more atheists than any other state in the nation. I’d call it The Sensible State.
That looks redundant, Florida’s motto should be “Florida”, that prettymuch covers it.
Texas: The [del]Lone Star[/del] Too Damn Crowded Now State
Yeah, but that doesn’t poke fun, which is the intent of the OP. I’d call it the Death By Consensus state.
Illinois…Where our governors make our license plates!
Michigan: The State of Decay
South Carolina: The State of Affairs
Virginia: The Old Dominatrix (Just an update to the current nickname)
Mississippi: The State of Panic
A fair point, for sure. Let’s see, then… Oregon: Perpetually Broke.
I don’t live in any of these, but what the hey:
Minnesota - the Twine Ball state
Wisconsin - the Badger Badger Badger state
Montana - the Dental Floss state
Mississippi - We’re Number 50!
Alabama - Thank God for Mississippi
South Carolina - Too small to be a country, too large to be an insane asylum
