I feel like this map isn't just putting them there to show they are part of the country; this map assumes we physically moved the states.

Iโ€™m fine with this explanation. Honestly, they should be closer to home anyway.

their stripes should reflect their actual location, not where their insets are in relation to the rest of the map.

Nah, the king simply added America to the pre-existing names since they refuse to assimilate blue states. Cali-merica, Ameriiwai, New Yamerica, Washingamerica, and so on.

And shrunk Alaska and physically moved Mexico...or air-dropped Alaska and Hawaii onto it.

Do I stay in the new state, or do I have to move to where my state is on the map. Because those are very different climates for me.

I like the idea of dropping a couple states onto another country.

We should do this just to mess with Europeans. We'll relate it to the unit circle and claim it's metric.

DC can become the central district, then rename them all clockwise. District 1, district 2 etc.

First you need a massive authoritarian takeover that erodes the original federation into a new empire.
