If any states deserve to break apart, it should be downstate IL and upstate NY

Roger that.
Sure would like to lance the festering boils on the corners of PA too.

While we’re at it:

Lop Miami off of Florida

Occupied Northern Virginia off of Virginia

Portland off of Oregon

Seattle off of Washington State

Detroit off of Michigan

Those cities/areas do not fit at all in the states they are in along with Chicago in the rest of Illinois and Pittsburg/Philly in the rest of Pennsylvania and NYC in NY State.
