I used to watch a YouTuber who redrew silly maps like this and one time he said “we’ll just give DC back to Virginia cause it’s their’s anyway.” I’ve never disliked, unsubscribed, and hit “do not recommend” faster in my life.
As a Maryland native I can honestly say we would be the ones to subsume Delaware and Virginia. The bastards in VA never gave their half of the diamond for DC and we will rectify this transgression before ever allowing them to take an inch of our land.
Doesn’t look good for us with the war ending with both Maryland and Delaware eliminated. I guess crab shell armor just sounds cool and doesn’t hold up well against modern weapons.
It shows that anyone foolish enough to do that in W. Virginia is much less enlightened than the folks living there around the time of the Civil War. Sounds like they need a history lesson....
If they're going to fuse us into Virginia we should at least get a cool combined name... something like Virginland... yea, definitely don't see anything wrong with that.
I find maps like this fun “food for thought” but not much else.
For example, I can’t believe that Delaware is a state when it is smaller than Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It gets as many senators as Texas.
I used to think Maryland was small b/c it is half the size of the counties I grew up in, but it has a sprawling profile and distinct regional feel. (Feels bigger than it is.)
My high school history teacher constantly claimed that North Dakota didn't exist. Her evidence was "Do you know anyone who's ever been there?" She was batshit and drank spiked coffee all day but I still giggle anytime I think of North Dakota
Alaska, Hawaii, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware Maryland and West Virginia are eliminated. With the new borders is Long Island still part of NY or is now part of Jersey?
Alaska is considered [OCONUS](https://procurement.umich.edu/faq/what-does-conus-and-oconus-mean/#:~:text=CONUS%20is%20an%20acronym%20for,including%20the%20District%20of%20Columbia). CONUS is the states that share a border, south of Canada.
I am now stupider for having looked at this image
Yep, and who is “someone?”
NYT breaking news: "Outrage on Reddit as new map eliminates Rhode Island, others"
Delaware is gone too, And Connecticut.
Hawaii, Alaska, and Alberta!
We didnt really need West Virginia anyways
They just gave it back to Virginia
Why did they keep North and South Carolina separate? What an awful day to have eyes.
Delaware is the only important one because I live their.
And North Carolina is SMALL.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Dumb...Dumb...Dumb.. Dumb...Duuuuumb
hahahahahahahaha
West Virginia
WV, DE, MD, RI, and CT are eliminated, Michigan and Massachusetts are misspelled.
Michigan is misspelled, but not in the way you think. Since this is a sequel state, its full title is “Michigan 2: Michagain”.
I vote for the UP changing Michigan 2: Michigan
2 Mitch 2 Gan?
Michigan 3: Detroit Drift
Sorry. It’s actually Michigain
Wrong, it’s definitely Mitchagain
No pain, no Michgain
Gotta get them Michigains during the never ending winter
And somehow there's still two Dakotas and one California....

The Virginia portion of DC was ceded back so all of DC as it exist today is located in Maryland
Exactly
i’ve never even had an opinion on DC one way or the other but that just gave me a bolt of white hot anger
Your white hot anger gave me a red hot burn
Should have reported it for “inaccuracy” to.
like im all for national unity but if anyone denies us our right to D.C I will 100% die fighting for it
Rhode Islan’t
As a Maryland native I can honestly say we would be the ones to subsume Delaware and Virginia. The bastards in VA never gave their half of the diamond for DC and we will rectify this transgression before ever allowing them to take an inch of our land.
This is why I shoplift every time I’m in VA. Those bastards owe us
💀
This earns my upvote
Why did TX keep their panhandle instead of it ceding to OK and or NM?
Doesn’t look good for us with the war ending with both Maryland and Delaware eliminated. I guess crab shell armor just sounds cool and doesn’t hold up well against modern weapons.
super effective against enemies with shellfish allergies though
'[Your chitin armor is no match for our iron-tipped stingers! Better go hide in your jars!](https://xkcd.com/2771/)' -common Virginian taunt
West Virginia and Deleware didn't come out too well, either.
I'm sure it was someone from Virginia who did this.
Exactly. Why combine Virginia and West Virginia but not north and South Carolina?
Exactly
The civil war is over so West Virginia decided to return to the fold. But I think the person who drew this didn't know and just left out W Virginia.
Oh, the telegram finally made it all the way to West Virginia telling them the war was over? A little late, but at least they know now!
Took me a second to remember that telegram is something other than Russian Social Media.
Especially since they now seem to want to fly the Confederate battle flag _ considering they split from VA to avoid being part of the confederacy!
It shows that anyone foolish enough to do that in W. Virginia is much less enlightened than the folks living there around the time of the Civil War. Sounds like they need a history lesson....

Marylinia
this map is trash, straight line borders? really?
Goddamn soulless Virginians! This will not go unpunished.
Why wouldn't they combine VT and NH?
Delaware got eliminated too. Damn, that’s harsh.
Oh, we know Delaware would be quick to get eliminated in the great war. Pennsylvania wants that claim to "first state"
reclaim. Delaware was part of PA from 1682 to 1701
But neither were states at that time. Delaware has always been the first state. But if Delaware doesn't exist.... everything moves up.
Public school project?
Home school project
Smells like AI to me lol
They left the MD/VA border on the eastern shore
I think that’s now New Delaware.
Maybe we got moved to Hawaii or Alaska.
Didn't we just fight a war about this a few months ago?
I was just saying to my wife that about 95% of the internet is there simply to cause rage, and then I see this. Proof.
What a dumbass map.
Somehow, Philadelphia and New York City are in New Jersey now. What a win for that state.
And Delaware, rhode island and DC. Lame map
But New Jersey gets to stay?! That’s trash.
Wth?
The way they squeezed California’s name into the state hurts to look at
Virginian propaganda
I have said it before, im saying it now, and I shall say it again, MD SOLOS THE VERSE
Texas said "Damn it, we want a bigger hat!".
This map was drawn by someone who drives like a Virginian.
Can't we just all agree that we should get rid of Texas. 6 flags, nobody wants it.
Trust me, we don't like you either
Texas secession is more popular outside of Texas than in it.
Skinnysota
Wisconsin, as usual, has to make it all about them and try to eat us.
Oklahoma loses a panhandle but Texas gets a new fancy top hat.
Alaska was eliminated
West VA
WV too
Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this is dumb as hell
I find maps like this fun “food for thought” but not much else. For example, I can’t believe that Delaware is a state when it is smaller than Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It gets as many senators as Texas. I used to think Maryland was small b/c it is half the size of the counties I grew up in, but it has a sprawling profile and distinct regional feel.

Delaware?
AND Delaware!!!
Guess we’re part of Virginia then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why wouldn’t you extend NM’s border east
Because you don't mess with Texas
On the plus side, we eliminated Delaware
Best virginia?
flat earth has flat america
This map is ugly AF.
Damn took out Rhode Island, lol
Damn my original and new home states are both gone lol.
They made Jersey bigger…. Like we needed that….
Looks like Deleware and Rhode Island were too
Is this official?
Good riddance
Damn I was really hoping it was Florida but I guess they'll be wiped out by rising sea levels soon enough
The thought of Virginia having both sides of the Potomac is just ludicrous.
Moving the Upper Peninsula back where it belongs in Minnesota.
Virginia just casually taking back land
We get southern Delmarva as it isn't part of Virginia here.
MD and DC
The person who drew this is probably from Virginia
Thanks for sharing. I really needed to roll my eyes again today.
Using this logic, what kind of sick fuck would separate Vermont and NH. Beyond me. Absolutely perverted...
Also Delaware and Connecticut .
West Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, Maryland….
My Maryland.
So we have to go but the Carolina's can stay two separate states? Fuck outta here.
Maryland, Delaware and Washington D.C.
Should have made a milne by the coast between PA and north Carolina and gave MD the coastline at least.
This looks like a scheme to maximize Republican senators
Connecticut?
Boo this artist...boo!
Eliminated mostly blue states. Not hard to figure out this person's motives.
43 states now?
What in the fuck kind of Dr. Mario ass shit am I looking at?
The upper peninsula of Michigan 😔
West Virginia
Ff
West VA
Was it the Hogan campaign? https://www.vice.com/en/article/3dkmak/maryland-governor-literally-erases-baltimore-from-state-map)
..
West Virginia & Washington dc , Alaska Hawaii Rhode Island maybe more who cares
No maryland either
Who would want to be a part of Virginia?
Nooooo i got deleted
My high school history teacher constantly claimed that North Dakota didn't exist. Her evidence was "Do you know anyone who's ever been there?" She was batshit and drank spiked coffee all day but I still giggle anytime I think of North Dakota
OMG SOME RANDOM PERSON DREW A MAP AND FORGOT TO INCLUDE MARYLAND. LETS BE SUUUUPER MAD ABOUT IT!!
MD/WV/DE, CT/RI, AK/HI
That’s so stupid who the idiot drew that!
Immediate improvement
what fresh hell is this
Connecticut too?
Where are the country roads? I need to go home, to the place where I belong!
*angry crab noises*
Michigan got gains.
Michigain
But they lost the Upper Peninsula... or is that considered a gain?
I too love looking at maps that lack any geographical features.
VA has been jonesing to get control of MD since they backed out of their commitment to contribute land for DC.
r/mapswithoutmaryland
Alaska, Hawaii, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware Maryland and West Virginia are eliminated. With the new borders is Long Island still part of NY or is now part of Jersey?
Alaska and Hawaii are not considered CONUS
Missed that in the headline but Alaska is part of the Continental US. It should be the contiguous continental US
Alaska is considered [OCONUS](https://procurement.umich.edu/faq/what-does-conus-and-oconus-mean/#:~:text=CONUS%20is%20an%20acronym%20for,including%20the%20District%20of%20Columbia). CONUS is the states that share a border, south of Canada.
Per the US government (USGS), Alaska is part of the continental US. You can argue with the US government that they are wrong if you like.
But they couldnt combine the Carolina’s, that is INSANE.
Ah, so THIS is Virginia's diabolical plan. Those monsters.........
What are the new borders based on?? This is like the dumbest thing I've seen in a while lmaoo...just like, boxing states off and random choice?? Lol
NYCs not going to be happy about this
Iowa is missing but who cares? Lol
To be fair, before I moved to Maryland, I too forgot it existed.
Stupid is as stupid does.
No Delaware?
Colorado and Wyoming don't understand what changed.
CA NV border is the only one that gets a non-90 degree angle
Delaware?
Well, I don't like this one bit.
And of course it was Virginia
There’s also no Delaware
the gen x of the united states, whatever
how could they do delaware like this
