As the presidential election dominates most of the American headlines, two of the least populated states have merged to become one giant Dakota, sources have confirmed.
“Wait, so I don’t live in South Dakota anymore?” asked Scott Fenton, resident of the newly formed megastate. “Hmm, Dakota. I think I like that. It makes sense, too. Each one of these states has a population of about 3,000 people, so I think it’s a good idea to combine our powers. Hey, can they give us a football team or something now please?”
Though residents were excited about the notion of living in one big Dakota, outsiders weren’t much impressed.
“Good for them and their big ass Dakota,” said Sean Way, a Boston resident. “I’ll still probably never set foot there, but at least they have something to get excited about. I always thought two Dakotas was a little much, you know? Glad we cleaned that up.”
As of press time, the United States of America is down to 48, following a similar vote in the newly formed state of Carolina.
Bad Idea, The bigger anything is the worse it becomes.
Don’t they LOSE two senators?? Bad idea!!
Okay, we make Washington D.C. a liberal state, we combine these smaller states, to create an odd number of states. How does that work with the “Compromise of 1820”? I am from Sturgis, even the eastern part of South Dakota is different from the western part. And North vs South is enormous. Why not divide Michigan, Minnesota, and the other liberal states? Norman Rockwell saw a great America and painted such. Why not have that America? Just get rid of the STUPID Representatives we have that want this Marxist regime. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and their like have nothing to do with this country.
i believe there are 3 million in each state, not 3.000.
So instead of being 50 states in our union, we are going back to 48. This means I can dig out the American Flag with 48 stars that my Mother flew on our front porch throughout World War 2 and use it again. What are we all going to do with the 50 star flags we have now? NO, NO, NO…….I refuse to take them all down, I will fly them untill I die.
Well, it would be 49 not 48.
Though this is satire, it was suppose to be just one state called Dakota. But they could not get along and had to make two states. North Dakota is much better than South Dakota
Did you read whole article? The Carolinas merged also.
Do not believe this. It would require Congressional approval even if the States were that stupid. Give up two Senate seats and two electoral votes? Not happening!
It would be at least three electoral votes (one for each senator and representative).
People. All ya’ll know this is satire? Lol.
Why not? California merged and it’s now Mexifornia.
Darn those of us from Montana won’t be able to tell NODAK jokes (instead of Polock jokes) any more.
Well, I think California, Washington & Oregon should merge into one state and call itself Marxi-phony-a. ( California always wanted to be bigger than Texas anyway).

Well, you can’t convince West Virginia to go back with Virginia. Maybe half of Virginia.
Great satire. Everyone is arguing about it. LOL
Rename the new state as, Dakota-Lakota or Sioux.
The murdered voices still cry out!
Let’s just have the same states become The Central States of America. We can always absorb those side states that come to their senses.
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
