Did he actually propose naming a state after himself?
Imagining how Kentuckians would’ve pronounced “Pelisipia.”
Oh yeah, Megasota time
Why did he propose a state called Adams in the Deep South?
The guy had a lot of ideas. Many of them good!
This was not one of them.
Didn’t he basically envision a sort of agrarian nation filled with farms? Was urban industry even on his mind?
I’m proud to be an… Assenisipian?
Not sure how the sports mascots would have changed…
Ass in his what now?
They all sound like Zootopia.
What’s the source for the southern States? The northern States were proposed in the draft for the 1784 land ordinance, but that was only relevant for lands north of the Ohio river.
‘Sylvania’ feels like it would have raised eyebrows in Pennsylvania
Equitasia is a badass name.
Seems no better or worse than what you’ve got but then I’m not American.
This is a map from [alternatehistory.com](https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ameriwank-map-challenge-request.97574/)

Looks like Pennsylvania got split in two, with the woods going out west
Thank god we didn’t let him keep naming states. Tf is Chersonesus and Assenissippia
Nibbling off the SW corner of PA for his home state.
Take that Alabama! No coastline for you
Ol Tommy Boy didn’t think having one state named Pennsylvania and another Sylvania may be confusing?
All the vampyres would live in the north west
“Metropotamia” is giving me steampunk Babylonian vibes
This looks like AI, like wth is „Pelisipia“ lol
Saratogan does go kinda hard
Polypotamia – ok get it. The Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio converge.
Metropotamia – is this metro like city? Or metro like mother? And if so, what river is inspiring this name? The Detroit river?
Source? How do we know this is really his map?
This is a joke, right?
Long live METROPOTAMIA
We are now Metropotamiganders. I love it.
Now I want to write a parody of the B-52’s song Mesopotamia about Metropotamia
We need to talk about “Chersonesus”
i can’t believe i’m saying this, but thank god for mississippi
Other early maps just extended the original colonies to the Mississippi. Others thought that a state should be no larger than you could comfortably ride a horse across in a week. Otherwise it would be harder to govern.
I guess we know what Warhammer faction Thomas liked to play as…
„Straight line?“
„Straight line.“
I’ll admit, Metropotamia slaps.
Chersonesus? Aka the Greek predecessor of Kherson in Ukraine?
Skibbidi Washington
Ok but Metropotamia goes incredibly hard. It makes me want like a cyberpunk game with aesthetics based on Mesopotamia.
Buddy got creative with those names
I guess it could have been worse for Wisconsin. Michigan—we want what’s rightfully ours!! Free the UP.
Metropotamia is a very fun name
