Reds has the city be renamed "Metropolis" while the state keeps its name.
Actually, they should've divided Texas in 5 when it joined & really pissed off the Abolitionists.Minor details. Using that logic, Texas should be split into Chihuahua in West Texas, Coahuila around San Antonio and Austin, Tamaulipas on the Gulf, and just call Dallas and Fort Worth Nuevo Leon because why not.
If NYC becomes its own state it should be called New York.
It is, it's just never been put on paper.The city could also be called, "We got ours, go f%"- yourself"![]()
If upstate separated (two thirds of the population of the state live in NYC or its suburbs), I would suggest any of the following names:
Haudenosaunee
Niagara
Iroquois
Though I would be OK with New York. Here is a good flag: http://iroquoisnationals.org/the-iroquois/the-iroquois-flag/
For downstate, either Hamilton or Gotham.
Hamilton is better if you do a widespread reform of the state boundaries and break up New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania into three states formed around New York City, Philadelphia, and a sort of backwoods state in the interior. They could be caused Hamilton, Franklin, and Haudenosaunee. Gotham is better for a state drawn more narrowly around NYC.
There is a case for Suffolk County, or for both Nassau and Suffolk counties to join Connecticut, but I agree they missed their chance at statehood when the aerospace industry went south.
Hamilton is probably tied with Ben Franklin as the most famous non-president among the Founding Fathers. Even before the musical, they were generally those guys who people thought was a president but wasn't. There are a few other Founding Fathers who are either from New York City or lived a significant portion of their life there, but Hamilton is by far the most famous. It's not a likely name, but I see no reason to completely dismiss it.What is with the thread-wide obsession of applying the name Hamilton to the New York Metropolitan Area?
Apart from a brief period of time, around the American Revolution, where applying the name of George Washington's great ally to a state might happen, it seems laughably outlandish to me.

I'm from Bellport.I doubt an earlier POD for Long Island is possible though. I think the best time for statehood was after World War II, the 1990s, and maybe now-ish. BTW, I'm from Smithtown.
