Hypothesis about New Mexico

[james_davis_nicoll]

It is not just that there's a 'mexico' in the name, it's that there are too many states to keep track of the names. How many nations have the equivalent of fifty plus provinces and territories?

Accordingly, how would you lump the states together to get a dozen or so states of roughly equal population?

There are too many Californians: let's split them in two while we're lumping together the other states. (You would have to lump together an unreasonable number of NotTexas NotCaliforia western states to get 37 million plus people).

Won't work. If you split the Californians in two, you'll have twice as many Californians.

Or maybe you'll have zero. I'm not sure which.

You could trade a single Dakota and a single Carolina for a North California and South California?

I would be forced to object to splitting Californians. Younger Son and Daughter-in-law live there.

Think of all the nontraditional energy it could generate.
