Sorry, there's no way I can remember them all without it taking way too much time (I'm getting old). Ask me to defend them and I'll make time for all 50. Carry on with the game. graemlins/beers.gif

Now as a bit of trivia is there a U.S. State that is not represented in the roster of Team Camaro.

I doubt it but an interesting thought.

New game.

Do you guys really want someone to copy all the names from their Rand McNally? If so do you want the 13 Canadian Providences too? ;)

Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky refer to themselves as commonwealths but the dictionary more or less defines commonwealth as a state.

OK, that was a good one, but i'll one up you Canadian style. Now ....without looking at a map or an atlas, tell me which of the 13 Canadian provinces is the biggest (land mas wise), and where in Canada it is located, then tell me which Province is the smallest and where is it located. When your all done with that, tell me which country has the second biggest land mass in the world.

(by the way, I could have named all 48 without the map and can also tell you where they are region wise) hehe

However, oficially, they are not states, they are commonwealths. Kind of like calling an automobile a car or motor vehicle.

Largest Province - Northwest Territory
Smallest Pronince - Nova Scotia
Second largest country landmass wise - Canada

Don't forget that Texas was a Republic when admitted to statehood...and a great majority of us still believe we are a Republic! tongue.gif
