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?
Well this is just inaccurate.

California should be westest Virginia
This is a dad joke so powerful you need a license to carry it.
Don't tread on me

Agreed.

The word west no longer has any meaning to me.
Semantic satiation
That's called Jamais vu, the opposite of Deja vu ;)
Virginia became "vergina" for me.

“Big Virginia” is what they called me in high school
-ia
The irony of your comment is that in my understanding it, we know whether it applied to me in high school, anyway.
You got Virginia wrong. It should be East West Virginia.
Came here to say this
Virginian resident here, WE OWN YA'LL!
/s
They should have called your state East Virgina
No
"OD Virginia"
Recognize!
/we are the "Old Dominion"

/s just having fun!
I would have thought West Virginia was more appropriate for OD'ing :)
Dark I Like it!
Also WV illegally secede from VA during the Civil War.

To be fair, Virginia illegally seceded from the Union. Illegally seceding from an illegal secession makes you a patriot I think.
Regardless we want them back. My argument is thin I agree.
But I live 1 town out of WV so I can jump ship if I have too. VA is becoming a silly place.
We are all Virginia on this glorious day

Speak for yourself.
I'm still trying to bring back Mega Virginia.
Oh my god, it's so... aggressive
And... girthy
You know what, I'm down. I think life in Mega Virginia will probably be better than life in Indiana now. Can we also do Long Massachusetts?
Alaska should be northest westest Virginia.
Unless you're considering the farthest point of the archipelago, and then it's northest eastest Virginia.
Or coldest Virginia
Not calling Hawaii "Wet Virginia" is a tiny blemish that is only visible because it's the only one
I really like how North Carolina is now South Virginia
BIG VIRGINIA 🤣🤣
West West West West West West West West Egypt needs to work on their energy grid

Can we go to squared, cubed, etc notation?
Eg South^2 Virgina.
South^3 Virginia.
If Virginia ever splits again we're gonna be in for some pain
We now need a Virginia-based coordinate system. Lats and longs centered on Virginia.
I think the progression should be in folowing order: Virginia - West Virginia - North West Virginia - West North West Virginia. And so on
So just prefixing the one closer. It looks way better(silier) and actualy explains what state is this one next to.

Lol I love Hawaii and alaska
Well, Virginia should be renamed “East Virginia” based on this logic.

The future Virgins want smh my head
As a direct descendant of Rev. David Rice, I approve.
This is so stupid 🤣 now do country's
Virginia supremacy.
Almost Heaven.
US Virgin Islands: nah we're good
U.S. Virgin(ia) Islands
I disagree. We should call Texas: Big Virginia. We should call Alaska: Bigger Virginia.
