Let's Fix The United States' Awful Borders

Why are the U.S. state borders so WEIRD? Basically it boils down to a series of political reasons mixed with a healthy obsession with aligning borders to latitude and longitude lines. But this gave us a country with borders that look very fake. So I decided to FIX them using natural features. Here are your much more natural U.S. state borders.

Oh and don't get too worked up over this. I have no more power to "fix" the state borders than you do. But it is fun to think about!

This video should be called "how to piss off everyone in America in 11 mins." I love it. Here's a Like to offset all the angry Carolinans 😂

"Let's fix the United State's Awful Borders".

Proceeds to make them exponentially worse.

there is a big disadvantage to dividing by rivers, because major cities are often by rivers, and then you end up with half of a city in one region and the other half in another

And Nevada must be so happy that you gave them more desert wasteland.

There is no way this video isn't ragebait.

[soykalastro]

imo this video belongs in r/mildlyinfuriating . Dividing some sides of some states by natural borders only for their other side to be a random ass straight line left me feeling incomplete. I want my 11 mins back.

Your reasoning for putting north and South Carolina back together is the same reason you keep West Virginia and Virginia separate that makes no sense.

Geoff: Splitting up states for political reasons is dumb.
Also Geoff: West Virginia and Virginia stay separated because politics.

If there's one thing I cannot tolerate, it is inconsistency.

Edit- Yes, I'm aware it makes sense to keep them separate for geographic reasons. That's not the reason he gave.

Edit: This is by far my most popular comment on this platform. What the fuck?

This is like if a victorian emperor was given total control of American borders and gave it the same consideration that they gave Africa & The Mid East

As a Wisconsinite, thank you for re-attaching our missing limb. As an American, what the f*ck did I just watch?

[average_user]

Giving Kansas City to Kansas was the most inflammatory part of this video tbh

[ALPACA-Prod]

Genuinely the worst state redraw I've ever seen in my life, it's so bad

[Bryzerse]

I'm actually appalled at how bad this video is 😭

As a proud Ohioan, I demand you give the Toledo strip back to its rightful owner, Connecticut.
