IRL translating it to a fantasy setting would make it cooler. Everything is wooded. Largest city is a small town by any other state's standards. Practically everything is haunted. I've personally been invited to join pagan cults that meet in the woods by random strangers on multiple occasions. There's a late monster legend. Wild animals everywhere. Every time I have to go away from a main road, it turns into deliverance.

Alaska:

Dire bears and dire moose are the least of your concerns.

Native spirits dwell all around, some benevolent, others less so...
Great, vast crows strip the flesh from foolish adventurers that try to survive alone, while the dreadful cold picks off the weak. Only by banding together in close friendships do any survive.
In the dead of winter, who can you trust to aid you in your distress and share their fire with you?

The people are a bit wild, but due to the climate are friendly enough. They are also heavily armed.

Being far away from the other nations, they have a bit of an independent streak as well. They do mine for rare and valuable minerals like gold and even the mystic black blood that southern mages can work wonders with.

Endless woods are all around, easy to get lost in, and the rivers are pleasantly swift and cool.

The greatest festival is in midsummer, on the day the sun does not set.

the southern region would NOT be sand!
it would be hills and scrub-land with ROCKY deserts (and a handful of sandy dune areas dotting that desert) and there are wooded mountains (hello big-bear)

Also, there are INVISIBLE giant cats that prowl the woods and scrub.

and spontaneous forest fires that would flare-up for seemingly no apparent reason. Except in rainy years when instead its random mudslides.

and there wouldn't be just elves, humans would also be present along with possibly Gnomes (mostly in silicon valley). and desendants of those people who came from the mystic east to either escape the bullshit of their home lands, or because their home lands couldn't stand THEIR bullshit anymore.

I'd say the state should be at the heart of a larger empire which would incorporate Nevada, and Arizona as territories.

True that, I mean a lot of the towns are built on the remains of towns. NYC especially but the other major cities no less. Maybe it was once home to a flourishing Empire(har har) that is now in a steep decline and on the verge of civil war with its two halves.

>New Jersey

Small but populous kingdom of immigrants of many different races. The North is an unlimited, densely packed urban sprawl; walking down the same street for 15 minutes you may go from decadent elvish manors to brutal orcish ruins. Once a prosperous land, its great cities are now crumbling shadows of their former glory. Famously corrupt politicians and church officials wage an endless, byzantine power struggle. Expect a politics and diplomacy heavy campaign should you visit the north. Should you visit the south, you will find only desolate wasteland and haunted woods. Many say the prince of devils himself roams those lands. But take heed to stay far away from the lost city of Kam'Den, now a stronghold of evil and despair where few men dare to tread...

You could divide Virginia into three or four regions.

Northern Virginia, at least in the context of the capital of DC still existing in fantasy, would be an urban dominated center like Northern Italy or the Levantine coast. If no DC, then it's hard to say - judging from the pre urban landscape of Northern Virginia before/during the Civil War it would be a continuation of the next category.

Feudal agrarian plantation economies. Whether or not slaves, would be the richly aristocratic dominated landscape of say, Celtic France or Medieval France. Northern Virginia, down the coast and into the interior before the blue ridge. Judging from the same antebellum culture of ostensible chivalry and the warrior-aristocrat of the south this would be knight-land.

Straddling the Chesapeake - Maritime oriented folk, probably less city-state great traders (with an exception of a place like Norfolk or something in the north Chesapeake) and more poorish fisher folk.

Blue Ridge Mountains - the typical hillfolk, whether Swiss, Afghans, Aetolians, Pyrennes. The question of if they are 'nice solitary hillfolk' (aetolians, Swiss), or rapacious ravaging hillfolk (Afghans) is probably a measure of how easy it is to get -off- the mountains and into nice territory to plunder. I am not familiar enough with the Blue Ridge to speak on that, except that I remember learning in grade school about the cumberland gap. That area could suffice to be their Khyber gap.

I think it's possible you could see a poleis culture a'la Greece or the Levant developing in the Chesapeake region of Virginia/Maryland.

>>35751991
Adding on to this, there are dozens of knights' orders in the state, varying from the Order of The Long Wood, which specializes in quarterstaff fighting, musical bards, and dick jokes, to the Order of Washington and Lee, basically a place for sons of the five most important families to lounge around for reputation's sake, the Order at Mary's Mount, which used to be similar to the Maryland Crusaders, but now is a more general order, and the Virginia Order, which takes a statistically stupid amount of gnomes and elves.
One of the unique aspects of Virginia is the varied viewpoints on race. In coastal areas and near cities, there allegedly is no functional difference between the races, although humans, goblins, and orcs are disproportionately represented in physical labors. However, in the more rural parts of the state, orcs are just as likely to be met with a sword as a smile.
Another aspect is the governance. Although the counties and fiefs are fairly autonomous, due to tradition (which governs most things in Virginia), a council of delegates (called burgesses) meets every year in Rich Mound to ensure peace and tribute.
The historical background of the state is resplendent with legends, heroes, and ghosts. There are entire towns devoted solely to recreating the past to set the undead at ease, and orders that aim to produce heroes in tribute to now-deceased kings and warriors.
Together, the orders of knights and monetary backing from tariffs on goods and tributes from the rich northern cities of mages make Virginia a potent military and economic power.

>the north is dominated by vast empty plains and most civilization there is concentrated in the Duchy of Dallas. Due to the constant barbarian threat from across the Red River, a sizeable military force is maintained to keep watch and prevent any incursions. While some commanders in the duchy argue for a grand crusade to purge the cursed land, others realize the futility of such a move as there is nothing of value there to justify sending men into that hell hole

>the west is a barren desert with the occasional town populated by backwards people who barely scrape by on subsistence farming and trading with certain merchant guilds the valuable natural resources found there. While utterly useless to the natives, the merchants recognize the potential wealth and buy safe access with petty baubles and the promise of non interference with their way of life. In contrast to the rest of it, the independent principality of Juarez Pass stradles the largest river in the region and due to sitting at the intersection of multiple kingdoms profits greatly from trade and the cheap labor of being the only barely habitable place for 500 miles in any direction.

>the cosmopolitan people's Republic of Austin practices the only known democracy in the region. Due to its wizard university and numerous bard colleges, immigrants have flooded the city state to the point where the infrastructure can no longer keep up with the booming population. While quite wealthy and generally progressive views on welcoming anyone who comes, the under class has exploded and it's usually the norm for beggars and failed bards to stand on street corners hoping for the chance of getting a few copper pieces to carry on for one more day. The bardic colleges find any excuse to showcase their skills in grand festivals that are famous the world over and many people travel long distances to engage in the weeks of debauchery and music, much to the chagrin of locals.

>the east is dominated by massive forests where druids and elves roam free, terrorizing any who enter or seek to defile the woods. This brings them in direct conflict with the coastal power of the hegemony of Houston, which is always looking for new resources to fuel their industry and shipyards. The forests are a prime target and its said that the emperor will pay handsomely for anyone who can bring the head of the elvish king.

>the south is mostly agricultural communities that supply the rest of the area with grain, cotton, and any other resources. The triple alliance of the mercantile Loredo league, nominally theocratic bishopric of Antonio, and the port city established by Antonio named Corpus Christi all work together to secure the area against outsiders and profit from the sale of their agricultural products. While comparitively weak, it is rumored that they have all agreed that if any foreign power were to invade successfully, they would burn and salt the fertile fields to deny their enemies any use and thus damn many to the horrors of famine.

Yup. Basically Fantasy Jersey was originally a Druidic Sanctuary land that is trying to fight back invasions from banished Bandit Lords and Diobolists exiled from Philadelphia and New York. The land is also watched over by the enigmatic Mothman, a bizzare Fey King whose domain is within the hills, and the Jersey Devil, who has claimed a long stretch of the Pine Barrens as it's protectorate.

Lately the coast has been settled by several pirates and miscreants of questionable character who seek to take advantage of the rich and lawless land, and are proving to be trouble by the already surrounded and exhausted Druids and Witches native to the land.

The Tenth Trail is a major trade route that cuts through the Realms of the Delta. It twists and turns from the east over the Endless Lake, through the Union of the Golden Sun, the Kingdom of the Crimson Pillar, and the Vermilion Crossroads before continuing further west. Throngs of caravans pass through the Trail for various reasons, be they the mystique and pleasure of the Union, to seek an audience with the "Kingfish" of the Pillar, or to seek fortune in the leylines of the Crossroads. Though the reasons are as varied as the travelers themselves, the Trail itself is indeed a vital part of the Realms.

As a matter of fact, it can be said that the Trail is more a part of the Realms than one would normally think. During a particularly difficult year in which the Atlantean Witches assaulted the Realms and surrounding areas with their powerful magics, the Trail put forth a herculean effort to take the people of the Realms out of harm's way, though the effort just about broke the Trail. But the people take good care of the Trail, making sure it is in good condition, to make it stronger than before.

The Trail in return brings good fortune to the people of the Realms, not only in bountiful trade, but also in protection from the unwashed barbarians of the hilly north. As if the Trail is a leyline in and of itself, it wards off most of the trespassers that come from the uncivilized Blackleg People, the Followers of Alexander, and the Ochre Men.

Yes, I just fantasy-fied I-10. It's a bigger part of Louisiana than one would think.

Ohio is a land tormented not only by the fickle lake-spirit of the north and the river-gods that run through and encircle the south, but also by a mysterious, disturbing force that seems to permeate the unsettled areas. Travelers that stray from the main roads have occasionally become lost and wandered for days, finding themselves in cities from the past. Only the wiliest of navigators have ever escaped such fates, so it is unknown how many have fallen victim to the warp.

Despite this, the woods of the southern areas are a draw for hunters of prowess, who seek the capture of the legendary man-ape said to dwell there.

Cleveland is a strange city, which seems to have been built as ruins, and the descendants of the founders show no interest in completing it. Founded on a poisoned river next to the worst part of a lake, it almost seems to have been created by madmen.

The chief knightly order of Cleveland is known as the Cavaliers of Cleveland. Their champion, Le Brown James, has led them to many victories, and is a hero to the entire state. And while they demonized him for seeking glories in the south, his return was heralded with celebration. Other knightly orders of Cleveland include the Brown Knights of the Dog Pound and the Tribe of Indians, neither of which is very skilled.

Bards are highly respected in Cleveland, and there is a museum built to honor them.

The tainted river has been producing strange creatures of late, fish with legs that crawl onto the shore to attack citizens and cough up their own insides before expiring.

Perhaps because of the depressing conditions, some halflings in the Land of the Cleve have developed some fine beers.

>Large cities usually contribute much more than their fair share in taxes per citizen, in effect subsidising the country. I'd bet £20 that NY is the same.

Yeah, but every state that has 1-2 large urban populations surrounded by rural areas is the same way. It usually comes down to "The liberal metro elite of (city name) are out of touch with rural common sense folk like us. How dare they tell us we can't dump pesticides in the water supply/ teach our kids that it's OK to bully gay students/ etc."

Granted, a lot of the policies drafted by the metro areas ARE out of touch or otherwise well-meaning but backwards, but you're right, the urban areas contribute a lot more to the overall well-being of the state than the rural inhabitants understand/acknowledge.

Over the last couple of decades he has slowly been losing his god damned mind. He holds a charity event known as the Wooly Bear festival as the little caterpillars are known for their alleged temperature prediction abilities.

I was watching him one night when he was pulling one of his all nighters, and he almost went into a rant against blacks causing global warming before they cut away.

Cornhenge is an art installation in Dublin Ohio known as Fields of Corn.

One of the Gypsy Kings of America, Levi Stanley, and his wife Matilda are buried at Woodland Cemetery in Dayton Ohio. Describing the Queen's burial:

>The Gypsy Queen, Matilda Stanley, died in Vicksburg, Mississippi in January 1878 after an illness of two years, and her body was embalmed so that it was said to "retain the natural aspect of life." It was placed in the Woodland receiving vault in Dayton, and every day members of late Queen's family came with fresh flowers to strew over her. Eight months later her funeral was held, giving time for word to spread and her people to travel to Dayton, and she was interred in the Stanley family plot. Twenty-thousand paid their last tribute to the dead Queen, including a dozen chiefs and their tribes from different sections of the United States, Canada and England.

You can also go see Annie Oakley's grave in Brock, Ohio, or while in Dublin go to Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus to see some pretty cool gravesites. You can also go to Camp Chase (which is in the middle of a busy series of rowhouses), a giant confederate burial ground right in the middle of Columbus.

>Mary Ellis (1750–1828) was a spinster in New Brunswick, New Jersey. According to oral tradition, she was seduced by a sea captain who vowed to return to marry her. He never returned and she would come to the spot where her grave now stands, each day, to look for his ship in the Raritan River in New Brunswick.

>Her story has been suggested as the inspiration for the 1972 pop song Brandy (You're a Fine Girl). The lyrics tell of Brandy, a barmaid in a port town. She wins the admiration of many of the sailors, but cannot return their feelings — the love of her life was unwilling to abandon his true love, the sea.

>The Mary Ellis grave is in New Brunswick, New Jersey in the parking lot of the Loew's Movie Theatre. Her family home eventually became the site for the Route 1 Flea Market, and later the Loews Movie Theatre. Her grave now sits in what became the parking lot, and now rests about seven feet above the level of the parking lot after the site was regraded for development.

She had a special coffin constructed for her daughter that had a glass window to display her body. Furthermore, when the grave was dug, Mrs. Ford had a set of concrete steps constructed so that she could descend them and look into the grave through a special glass window that she had the workmen install. Because her daughter was terrified of thunderstorms, every time it would rain Mrs. Ford would descend the stairs and sit there by her daughter's coffin, separated only by the thin glass wall. She could also gaze at her deceased child through the glass of the coffin. After the mother's death, the glass wall was covered by concrete to prevent vandalism, but today you can still descend the steps to Florence's grave.

As a Kentuckian, lemme tell you how wrong you are.

Kentucky used to be known as a place of incredible progress, a landlocked state that produced America's best sailors because we built more riverboats than anyplace else. We were the first to embrace the steam engine, the first Southern state to denounce slavery (though we didn't ban it), and the first "western frontier." When the Civil War came, we couldn't pick sides, which normally would have doomed us to be attacked by both; to avoid that, we officially declared for the Union while unofficially ceding western Kentucky to the Confederacy. We were a place of culture; Lexington was known as "the Athens of the West." But around the turn of the century... we just sort of gave up. We had made ourselves too culturally southern and too socially northern, and wouldn't be fully accepted by either.

In a fantasy world, we'd be a nation of steamtech half-elves and half-orcs--a place where differing cultures met and blended, producing something strong but isolated. But because we weren't willing to assimilate fully, we've been in decline for decades, almost a parody of our former glory. Kentucky would be a fantasy nation with only two somewhat major cities, both of which are bastions of power, art, and history, but most of the country would be pastoral fields, horses, and untamed monster-filled wilderness where an increasingly impotent militia was ceding ground every day.

In short, we'd be one of those kingdoms from fantasy that was in the process of going to shit, and had been for generations.
