All 50 states with the same naming convention as West Virginia

3 years ago by The Picard Maneuver to c/lemmyshitpost

Well this is just inaccurate.

North North North North Virginia should be North North North East North North Virginia, and that propagates through The State Formerly Known As New Hampshire and The State Formerly Known As Maine, too.

North North North North Virginia would be Old Canada.

Edit: I guess technically it would be North North East North North North Virginia; the labeling would track backwards from the current state to Virginia. East North Virginia would be 1 state east of "North Virginia", for example, which would be The State Formerly Known As Delaware.

I've spent way too much time thinking about this already.

It's appropriate that they all be slightly wrong, though. Virginia extends slightly west of West Virginia, so West Virginia should really be North Virginia. To use the same naming convention means to carry similar errors.

Agreed.

They list Ohio as "West North Virginia" when it should either be "North West Virginia" (North of [West Virginia]) or "West North North Virginia" (West of [North North Virginia, AKA, Pennsylvania])

I think the progression should be in folowing order: Virginia - West Virginia - North West Virginia - West North West Virginia. And so on

So just prefixing the one closer. It looks way better(silier) and actualy explains what state is this one next to.

This post did make me wonder about something related to American history. Maybe someone can she some light on this.

In my understanding the colonization of the Americas was a bit of a blank slate, I can understand some areas being name after Indian names (Delaware) and some from their former colonial history (Louisiana).

Buy why have several terrorists (Virginia, Carolina, Dakota) ben divided north/south? Was there some kind of internal political struggle that caused a divide? Why did they stick to the name?
