      I’m guessing, they separated out the more recognizable states and then just filled in the gaps with random rectangles/shapes.
      Plenty US states are just rectangles anyways, so it’s not hard to make it look convincing…

    Delaware is the first state. Virginia was the first British colony. It’s still a stupid name, but most of the original 13 have stupid names. Massachusetts is probably the best name if I had to pick

      It’s named after an English queen. Delaware being named for Della Reese centuries before she was born is the the stupid one.

        I was like “wtf is Delaware’s etymology?”

        It’s named after the Delaware bay, which was in turn named after the first governor of the colony of Virginia, Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr (1577-1618).
