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.
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 literally have been laughing at this and the comments for 20 minutes I can't stop I'm crying real tears. The mountain mountain mountain mountain mama comment took me out. 🤣
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?
