Hawaii is way further away from the US than Alaska I forgot it belonged to the US because of that, I am sorry if that offended anyone.
I would consider Michigan a memorable shape if it wasn’t cut in half. As someone that’s not from the US, without specifically going out of my way to learn about Michigans shape I would have expected the shape that actually represents Michigan to be two different states.
And yes, technically NYC itself isn’t a state but honestly it’s close enough to the actual name, that if I told natives I’m going to the state of NYC they’d know I’m talking about New York and am just being ignorant, and knowing where NYC is, most people could point out the state of New York on a map.
And yes, I am an imposter because I am from Germany and not the US.
No worries! If you ever saw the Hawaiian flag that would be all kinds of confusing because they are clearly claiming to be a British Commonwealth state, despite never being part of the British Empire. They just liked the Union Jack so much that they slapped it in the upper left corner of the flag. That was back when they were still a kingdom though.
Hawaii and alaska are simply forgotten as states entirely, and in my experience the same goes for new mexico which blends together with texas and arizona.
Seriously who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have a state called “new mexico” right next to a COUNTRY called “mexico”?
In addition to Michigan and the three op named, I would also argue Minnesota and Louisiana (shaped like an L, the first letter of the state’s name) have distinctive/memorable shapes.
Includes Alaska but not Hawaii for memorable locations.
Completely disregards Michigan for memorable shapes.
Refers to NYC as a state.
I’m starting to think you may be an imposter.

I was just poking some fun 😊
