I don't know, I'm not american. It seems kind of funny that there's like an unspoken statement about which three states get to be TRI STATE and which ones are the hangers-on. I'm not totally sure what PA NY and VT are, but they look to be the biggest??? Do RI and MD each consider themselves part of TRI STATE and sneer at the other's pretensions??? It's a whole new world.

The eight states depicted are each that that thinks they're one of the tri-states. The only for-sure member is New York.

It's New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Any other deviation or variation is wishful thinking by the newly represented state.

You forget Canberra. How about the tri-state-and-mono-territory area? Or call the whole thing the Heptarchy and be done with it.

Not really the best actuary in the world.
The US has many tri-state areas. For instance, the area around Cincinnati.

I had been assuming that "the tri state area" was like some sort of administrative battleground where nobody was sure who was in charge and thus all crime was de-facto legal.

Place at the lower point of NV called is Calnevari, and it's a town with only around 150 people. But of course there's a casino!

Wikipedia lists 20 US tri-state areas, some of which seem pretty specious though.

There are two four-state areas, but only one where all of them actually touch.

Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania.
