	If you can think of even more awesome things about your State, post it here, with reference to the source. You can make your State... even more awesome!

	The most representative average typical US state is Missouri not Illinois. Missouri is 70k square miles in area (US average), votes for the winning president most often (as stated in quiz) and has cultural aspects of the South, the West, the Midwest and the East (St. Louis). If a foreign visitor could only visit one state to get the spirit and feel of the U.S. - I'd send him to Missouri.

	@chriskotx I agree with you. I am from Illinois, and I will be the first to tell you if we are the most representative typical US state, America is in trouble.

	What's so great about our license plates? Although they do look way better now than they used to.

	I don't think this is supposed to happen--in the notes above the quiz there's a small map of the U.S. with these categories printed inside the states. If I zoom in enough, I can use it to get the answers.

	@racefan12: I trust the sportsmanship of most players. The option was not to show the map which inspired the quiz.

	I think you should change the Oklahoma question. I mean they do have a cool license plate, but I think Oklahoma has stuff more awesome than that. My suggestion to change it to is maybe "Most Native American Reservations" because I think it's pretty cool how many places they have reserved for them. I don't know. You decide. It was a fun and interesting game nonetheless.

	This would make a good sequel: http://pleated-jeans.com/2011/01/24/the-united-states-of-shame-chart/

	I like the fact you chose something positive for North Dakota because it's usually the brunt of every body's jokes. Maybe you could do a sequel and use a negative fact for the states that had a positive fact this time and vice-versa. For ND you could use highest rate of teen age drinking or highest rate of binge drinking.

	I was going to suggest this quiz's antithesis: The United States of AWFUL.

	I thought Idaho manufactured the most potatoes, not computers! Well, you learn something new every day!

	I fail to see what's awesome about having the highest rate of gun ownership.

	jago706:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 05:55 GMT	1 point
	I wonder how often and how many church-goers in Alabama visit Mississippi?
