I did a couple of cartography classes in college and I can say this is 100% correct.
I have to say I prefer New Mexico A and New Mexico B. It's poetic justice, as the Eastern border of New Mexico was drawn by a drunken surveyor from TX, so we're just getting back what was ours. Take a look at the map, and the history, strange, but true. Also Tennessee and Elevenessee are made for each other.
Many residents of Kentessee would love to change the name to Elevennessee, but that's been found extremely exclusive by the former Kentucky residents who were lumped into the state upon its creation.
Almost perfect! Of course Akansas should be Nebrahoma. Rookie mistake, but great work otherwise! Gold star

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Texas"

Why are there so many Mexicos?? The Mexicos are multiplying, you guys. We're about to be overrun.
I had a college professor who absolutely would have handed something like this out as a pop quiz.
I'm surprised he only crammed one more state into the northeast. Easy opportunity to put a dozen lines pointed to one little dot-sized section
It's like a stretch station wagon, you can do it, but why?
I think we could make it easier for many by drawing a diagonal line from the top of Columbia on the west coast to Louisiana in the south east and just label the whole area "Old Mexico".
Then when people start yelling at you go back to where you came from or learn to speak American they can return to Europe where their ancestors were born...
With all of the new red states this map would create, we might as well just rename the country Trumpistan.
