We can re-litigate an old argument here and show CT and PA pushing for non-shameful sea access. PA takes part of southern NJ, CT slams across Long Island.

You don't even need the panhandles, just do some extra non-contiguous states. You already have one.

Reminder that Delaware declared independence from Pennsylvania and the British Empire at the same time, weeks and weeks before the famous Declaration of Independence. They were independent and ruled by the President of Delaware.

Build giant canals along all state borders that aren't already rivers. Coastline for everyone. Also make big canal networks in the center of each state spelling out its name

Delmarva is still pretty hosed. People talk about midwest-western states looking unnatural since they're just big rectangles, but the east coast is still full of straight lines on a map that were drawn once and haven't really been fully reexamined, although they've been poked around a lot. Delaware is an abomination.

Here's my one thousandth post that reminds you: Delmarva is a man-made island. One of America's largest islands. The canal is a cut channel, it has free-flowing tidal water rushing betwixt its banks. Definitely the largest island in the world in terms of chicken production.

It's not like it would matter in any practical sense, and it would be cool as gently caress, just like the laser that goes from Morocco to Mecca.

Kentucky is the only state where a portion of it cannot be accessed without traveling through a second state  the missisippi river borders are crazy but I think the little new madrid nub is the only one without a tentacle reaching out to connect it with the homeland edit: oh right liberty island

Peaceful Anarchy posted:You can reach Point Roberts, in theory, without going into non-Washington State territorial waters. Yeah, I guess if we're including territorial waters that's probably the only one that's completely non-contiguous (I hope). I didn't even know about that border and I feel my life has been made worse after seeing that.
