Collections of States

• In the TV miniseries Amerika, the United States is divided into multiple "administrative areas" following an invasion by the Soviet Union:
  • California Special District: California, Nevada
  • Western Semi-Autonomous: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming
  • Northwest: Oregon, Washington
  • Southwest: Arizona, New Mexico
  • North Central: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin
  • Central: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska (at the climax of the series, this area is carved out of the United States as a new country called Heartland)
  • South Central: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas
  • Southern: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi
  • Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia
  • Appalachia: Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia
  • Ameritech: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania
  • Northeastern: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont
• The comic book Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew took place in the "United Species of America" on the parallel world of Earth-C; the comic featured several analogs of real US states, including:
  • Taxes: nicknamed "the Lone Stork State"; an analogue of Texas. Taxes was the home of supervillain Armordillo, as well as the cities of "Hogston" and "San Antoadio."
  • Kornsas: A state in the midwest; an analogue of Kansas.
  • Califurnia: A state on the western coast of the U.S.; an analogue of California. This state featured the cities "Saint Bernardino," "Beaverly Hills," "Follywood," and "Los Antelopes." The Zoo Crew's headquarters was located in Follywood; the city was also the home of team members Yankee Poodle and Rubberduck.
• The episode of the animated series Futurama entitled "Bendin' in the Wind" showed some maps of the USA in the year 3000. Many states were humorously respelled (such as "eHIO" for Ohio). The map also showed two new states: Pennsylvania being divided into the Penn Republic and Sylvania, parodying the breakup of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Other humorous states, such as "East West Virginia," are included. Most of the series takes place in New New York, which the final episode confirms is the name of both the state and city's name.
• The animated series The Flintstones presented a few "prehistoric" versions of modern-day states, including:
  • Texarock: A prehistoric version of Texas (though the name "Texas" was also used interchangeably).
  • Arkanstone: A prehistoric version of Arkansas; the former home of various hillbilly ancestors of Fred Flintstone, as well as their rivals, the Hatrock family. Bears a (probably coincidental) similarity to the name of the Arkenstone.
  • New Rock: A prehistoric version of New York.
• The video game Red Dead Redemption features two fictional states:
  • West Elizabeth: a Northern state, based mostly on Colorado.
  • New Austin: a Southwestern state, portrayed as a rough combination of Texas and Nevada with areas resembling the Southeast and the Northeast, located on the Mexican border.
• In Orson Scott Card's The Tales of Alvin Maker series, the United States exists as a much smaller nation, between the area of New England and the Crown Colonies which extend from roughly Virginia south to Georgia. The nation has a significantly higher Iroquois and Dutch influence than in the real world. Member states include:
  • Irrakwa
  • New Holland
  • New Orange
  • New Sweden
  • Pennsylvania
  • Suskwahenny
• Barry Shils' 1991 film Motorama contains a number of fictional states, which appear to be in the southwestern US. Three of these (Mercer, Bergen, and Essex) are counties in New Jersey. In order of appearance, they are:
  • Mercer (Nickname: The Frontier State)
  • South Lydon (Nickname: The Lonesome State)
  • Tristana (Nickname: The Green State)
  • Bergen (Nickname: The Long State)
  • Vetner (no nickname given)
  • Essex (Nickname: The Last State)
