Four states by Christopher Beck

Make a new state
By Christopher Beck in Ventura, CA

I have aligned the new states based on dominant ideological and political interests of the people in each state.The goal in my grouping was that the majority of the people in the state would be happy with the direction, politics, and beliefs of state leaders; as opposed to now: its all SF or bust.
