This is a blank map of the United States. At first glance, it looks correct, because all the large states with distinct shapes are correctly represented, but some states have been added. For example:

* On the west coast, Washington, Oregon, and California all have their normal shapes, but there is a new rectangular state south of Oregon and north of California.
* Ohio has been split into two states with a new north-south border in the middle.
* A new, Tennessee-shaped state has been added between Tennessee and Kentucky.
* Additionally, a new, North Carolina-shaped state has been added between Virginia and North Carolina.
* A square-shaped state has been added between Arizona and New Mexico.
* Another rectangular state has been added between North and South Dakota (Middle Dakota?).
* An Arkansas-esque state has been added between Arkansas and Missouri.
* New Hampshire now has a state that looks like its reflection between itself and Maine.
* Four rectangular states have been added between Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado and the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas.
* Another rectangular state has been added between Colorado and Wyoming.
* Lastly, another rectangular state has been added between Idaho, Utah, and Nevada.
