    Virginia isn’t a state, it’s a Commonwealth 😏

      While it is true that Virginia is a Commonwealth, it does not diminish the fact that it is a state.

      Even though it was officially so declared in 1776, the status as a Commonwealth has no impact legally on the status of Virginia, and is impactful only in name & symbol.

        What are states if not names and symbols? 😃
