These are 18 States: Lincoln, Shasta, South California, Navajo, Absaroka, West Kansas, Texlahoma, Jacinto, Superior, Chicago, Forgottonia, Nickajack, Acadia, Boston, Long Island, South Jersey, Chesapeake and South Florida.

Long Island’s latest quest to split from New York and become its own state had a promising start last year. Legislators in Suffolk county, upset over a new payroll tax to fund New York City’s subways, voted 12-6 in favor of a secession plan. It seemed viable: In terms of square miles, Long Island is bigger than Rhode Island; its gross state product would be larger than that of 20 states. Some optimists even proposed a state bird: the duck.
