Maybe the package is from 1864.

Or maybe the other 14 states just don't have anything important about them.

Crap. Now that you mention it, I'm having trouble naming more than 36...

If we're looking for efficiencies in our government, I think combining states would be a good solution. Do away with governments of small states and lump them w/ a larger neighbor. We could easily roll MD & DE into PA, RI into Mass, etc.

Also group clumps of states w/ similar cultures together like North + South Dakota, the Carolinas, Vermont + Maine + New Hampshire, Kentucky + Tennessee, Wisc + Minnesota, Missouri + Arkansas, etc. Then again, our unemployment rate would skyrocket because those laid off state govt workers couldn't find jobs.
