USA 1973 : the 38 state Union

USA : The 38 state Union

« In the 1970s, geography professor C. Etzel Pearcy proposed redrawing the borders of the US states, reducing them from 50 to 38. Each new state’s name was chosen to represent a physical of cultural aspect of each new territory … Needless to say, the idea never left the drawing board »
[en fait en 1973, George Etzel Pearcy enseignait à la California State University. Il est décédé en 1980, à 75 ans]

Commentaire de Frank Jacobs : « The fun really begins in Europe, where some of countries just vanish off the map: Belgium tweets in Dutch and French, Switzerland in mainly in German, with a French bit west of the Röstigraben (3). And other countries emerge out of nowhere: Catalans twitter in their own language, not Spanish. German dominates Central Europe, but a surprisingly large chunk of Austria appears to be tweeting in Italian - as do a lot of dots inside France ».
