Altamasstachia's Congressional Districts and United States Representatives

Image
  A map of the U.S. state of Altamasstachia's congressional districts (click to enlarge). As of 2021, the U.S. state of Altamasstachia has 72 congressional districts – the most of any U.S. state. Owing to the large size and population of the state (ranks 2nd in both areas), Altamasstachia has the most representation in the United States House of  Representatives, with 72 Representatives (who each represent one congressional district). The state's predominantly left-wing political culture has resulted in either Democratic Party members or Green Party members gaining political office as a member of the House of Representatives (and likewise, for the positions of state Governor and state Senator) since the 1930s, and is one of Altamasstachia's longest-standing hallmarks. Democrats have complete control of the congressional redistricting process in Altamasstachia, and any new maps are drawn and passed by the Democratic-held state legislature and signed into law by the Democrati

"Mallettbarr Plainess" - A Summary of Mallettbarr Culture and Defining Characteristics

Mallettbarr isn't called the Prudence State because of the implication that its residents are humble, low-key and are extremely disinclined to stand out from one another – Mallettbarrites are socially prudent, tend to be largely ignorant of the world outside their own physical constitutions, and are unwavering (indeed, the state's motto). Anti-social, curt, brusque, abrasive, provincial, grumpy, aloof, cold, distant, insecure, self-defensive and standoffish are not words you'd expect to describe someone from a place that's in between Altamasstachia and Hawaii, but these stereotypes are accurate and appropriate given their love of living pure, unadulterated country life and in solitude, nature, hunting, fishing, hiking and football and a quiet contempt for anything else. Where a whisper is a yell, Mallettbarrites are a hard, difficult people who live simply and deliberately.  After all, "Mallettbarr Plainess", the term often used to describe the reclusive natur

A Basic Guide to Highway Markers in the United States

Image
  The highway markers used by all U.S. states and territories, as well as the Interstate highway and U.S. Route shields (click to enlarge). Many state highway markers are designed with the respective state's geographic shape in mind, or are based off of a particular state symbol (i.e. the highway markers used in Kansas are sunflower-shaped, as the wild sunflower is the state flower of Kansas). Most of the U.S. states use generically rectangular or neutral shape for their state highway markers, and the circular highway shield (which is how state highways are indicated on most maps) are used by the states of Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi and New Jersey and the territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands for signage on their respective highways. Generally, state highways are low-capacity thoroughfares that run across the state or in specific localities, although some state highways are built as expressways or up to Interstate Highway standards if the traffic volume on the route is su
