Instead of states, there should be 13 commonwealths. The new administrative division of the country would help create legislation broad enough to benefit states with common regional concerns, but would be narrow enough not to affect states with dissimilar interests or political cultures. I have come up with a list of commonwealths. But the name shall be changed from USA to UCA.
Commonwealth Former states Columbia Commonwealth: Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia East Central Commonwealth: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee Eastern Commonwealth: West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York Four States Commonwealth: Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico Gulf Commonwealth: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida Great Midwest Commonwealth: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan New England Commonwealth: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut Northern Commonwealth: Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota Northwest Commonwealth: Northern California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska Plains Commonwealth: Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma Southeast Commonwealth: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina Southwest Commonwealth: Southern California, Nevada, Hawaii Texas Commonwealth: Texas, Arkansas

| I partally agree, but what I think you mean are new states. A common wealth aka territory, get no right to vote (but also don't pay taxes) |

| Alright, maybe I should make a separate commonwealth called the Florida Commonwealth. But it will include Puerto Rico. |

It would be a better move for Russia as Russia is a lot closer then China is. |

| Also Florida is all screwed up. The ending of Florida describes it 'da'. |
