Should have done this as Spain and then you could have the other Toledo thrown in there.

Damn. Calling the Ruhrpott new York is an insult in both directions

Is Ruhrpott like greater Frankfurt?

Is it like Frankfurt am Mainhattan??

That would have made sense. Ruhrpott isn't in Hesse though. It's the region north to it around Düsseldorf Köln Bonn etc

If anyone is wondering, theses are the names of states of the USA. It's a small country that lies just south of Canada.

Tbh this is just wrong, it’s clear Ohio is larger than Canada even if you include their puppet state (Toronto).

Clearly if New York wanted instigate intrastate warfare they would conduct a lightning assault through Canada and catch Ohio by surprise, who would likely be thinking that their Appalachian Line on the border with New York would keep them safe. Canada’s so small they could cross it in hours!

In that case - I must be in the youper.

Pennsylvania = Amish = Swiss

There is no Paris equivalent. The joke author couldn't even go there.

Paris = Mansfield. Which all Parisienne should find as highly offensive

I once heard Billings, Montana referred to as the Paris of south-central Montana.

There is a lake (Summersville) in west virgina with water so clear they call themselves the little Bahamas of the east. Despite being northwest of the actual Bahamas.

There’s a Virginia to the north of Virginia that calls itself West Virginia despite being to the north.

Lake sounds awesome but imma bring a compass.

He could've tried New Paris or St. Paris.
