I enjoy this a lot. My favourite is either Luigiana/Waluigiana or the rename for Hawaii

As an Oregonian, I have mixed feelings about this one...

I like how Alaska still doesn't get credit for its real size compared to the lower 48.

How is this alphabetical? I keep looking for some logic to it but I can't find it
States starting with A are huge, states starting with W are tiny. (If there were states starting with Z they'd be even smaller)
That's what I originally thought, but if you compare Maine and Alaska, the sizes aren't much different to my eye
Then why is Hawaii fucking massive?
States get smaller in alphabetical order. Alabama is huge, while West Virginia is tiny.
What's going on with Hawaii, then?
