Georgia has to go down as the worst name ever, surely? "hey what should we name this new state? oooh i know let's call it Indonesia! That'll avoid any future confusion!"

It’s named after an English queen. Delaware being named for Della Reese centuries before she was born is the the stupid one.

I mean M'ass'achusettes has the best drivers in the country!

I'm guessing, they separated out the more recognizable states and then just filled in the gaps with random rectangles/shapes.
Plenty US states are just rectangles anyways, so it's not hard to make it look convincing...

Yes
