- Which US state has the worst borders? Maryland is widely considered to have the worst borders disregarding geography and people. Here we redraw the border to make it better.

Alternate title: "How to get Permanently Banned From the State of Maryland"
You are now permanently banned from Maryland, Either give us all of Delmarva, and territories the Virginas and Pennsylvania or leave us be
Bro is the banisher 😭🙏
Maryland’s current borders are beautiful tbh there is no other state that looks like it’s southern border was draw by someone very drunk 😂
As a registered Marylander, you have been permanently blacklisted from my beautiful state of maryland. You are also never allowed to eat crabs again.
NOOOOOOOO
Chill guy is no longer a chill guy :(
0:34 I think this is a common misconception. States are NOT meant to cluster a single culture or geographic area into a single state. Some of the eastern states happen to be that way because they were founded as colonies and are very small, but as the country expanded, states were drawn to include a variety of geography wherever possible on purpose. For example, that's why parts of west FL were broken off and given to MI and AL. That's why OR and WA have hinterland areas. That's why states like CO and MT have large plains areas. West Virginia is one of the most geographically and culturally cohesive states, and it's also one of the poorest. These states are meant to have a variety of interests and industries to make them more stable and self-sufficient.
Mississippi is obviously the weakest state.
or west viginia, wyoming, etc
Maryland is a surprisingly powerful state. Don't let its small size fool you. It's super strategic and important especially with trade as well as for defense.
Maryland is not weak. You are. You do not understand the ability maryland has over you. MARYLAND FOREVERR RAHHHHHHHHH
It looks like Virginia is pointing a gun at new york
Didn't realize this was such a small channel until after I fully watched the video and went to look at the comments. This is an interesting video and you did a great job!
Definitely wanna see a series about this. Idaho, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Delaware are all good candidates for tweaking.
This is a really interesting concept, I’d love to see it with some more states, especially Florida, as a foreigner looking in Florida seems to be like 4 separate states in one (Miami, Central Florida, The Northern Part and The Panhandle appear to be all extremely distinct)
How dare you. We get the Virginas minimum.
I really like that you solved two questions at once, the horrible borders of Maryland and Washington's statehood. Please make all states then make a big compilation! By the way you won a new sub here.
They should just put all of the Maryland suburbs of Washington into the District, thereby depriving them of national representation and making the rest of the country better off.
If we’re so weak, why are we shaped like a gun?
Also issuing a letter to Governor Moore to keep you out of this state.
you are banished
you completely skipped over Baltimore, a major US city and international seaport, a much larger and busier port than anything Philadelphia has. You need to include the Delmarva pennisula as part of greater MD, and you have to consider Baltimore.
Us Philadelphians don't like that...
Maryland and Pennsylvania almost fought a war over Philadelphia. That's how we got the Mason-Dixon line.
I would exclude Philadelphia and Washington DC because those two cities are far too influential to be within a single state. Would either of these cities seek to be represented in Annapolis? A city far smaller would not really be appropriate to govern from when you'd have the historic Philadelphia and federal Washington DC incorporating the constituency. Not to mention Baltimore's place in all this.
I mean jeez, imagine football season if we had THREE teams looking to take it home for the state. Any Ravens win, chaos. Any Commanders win, chaos. Any EAGLES win? It's Philadelphia, what do you think?
As someone who has never even been to America I can say this is the perfect solution that should be implemented right away
If you haven't been to America nor Maryland. Keep your mouth shut. Ok? Good.
@ It's a joke, no need to get offended.
@rcm926 ohh. Sorry I should have notices all the "haha" and the "lol" such a funny joke
I sincerely appreciate the effort that went into this. I’m not even educated enough to offer valid no worthwhile input. But I enjoyed nonetheless.
Maryland’s current borders are beautiful tbh there is no other state that looks like it’s southern border was draw by someone very drunk
you not wrong tho
You butchered Pennsylvania now they have a population of 2.7 million people best
Actually they keep about 6 million. The Philly metro has 6 and the others combine for 1.
Just move the Mason-Dixon line back up to the 40th parallel, take our part of DC back (Virginia got their part of the square back already), and give Maryland the whole DelMarVa peninsula
I'm okay with this if not only because Maryland arguably has the best flag
I think there have been several votes in the Appalachian area of Maryland to join West Virginia
Makes sense geographically but not economically
Maryland's boundaries were not really arbitrary. Virginia already existed south of the Potomic, and its western boundary was teh end of the Potomic river, the north was set at 40 degress north latitude. In the 1700, that "eastern Shore" of the Chesapeake was the most economically viable reagion of these state.
No crab cakes for you!!
banned from maryland for life.
As a Marylander I would definitely give up the Appalachian area and most of Delmarva. York PA area should be added in since it has a straight line connection to Baltimore. The upper portion of Delmarva should stay because it includes I-95
as a Marylander this is so hilariously flawed, even if you live in the dense suburbs of MC you can still go over to QA and still see a lot of the same culture, if you where to give Maryland more power, it would be giving the edge of the western pan handle to West Virginia, and giving the whole of the bay to Maryland, which wont be happening anytime soon.
I'd like to know what MC and QA are.
MC is Montgomery County and QA is Queen Anns @Jim49446
don't forget to give Accomack and Northampton counties to the new Enhanced Delaware
Your logic is flawed. Geography is a poor way to organize representation. It's an old legacy from the British feudal system.
Where people live and how economies function changes over time. Rivers, rail roads, highways, A/C, the internet have all drastically changed infrastructure and economics.
Sure, there are regional differences, but there will be people in Idaho who have more in common with people in New York City than with their neighbours and vice versa. Even not all farmers want the same things. You should make subdivisions based on people's ideology and policy preferences. The outdated divisions in the USA is why it has so many problems.
I agree with this.
Iowa makes as much wheat as the Russian Federation!!
Where does the producer of this video come up with his goofy and dumb conclusions about the purpose of states and their boundaries?
