Kentuckyana

Kentuckyana is the 49th state located within the United States of America. Nobody remembers when it was founded, but it is a merger of the 2 former states Kentucky and Indiana. Nobody knows specifically why these two states decided to merge, but Mario Jacobson theorizes that the merge never happened, and that "Kentuckyana has always been a thing".

Their national animal is a baby squid known as Hershel Walker Cuyler Them Dogs is Hell Don't They, who helped push Congress into allowing the state merger.

To keep the flag at 50 stars, Congress decided to fully annex Puerto Rico into the United States, making it the new 50th state.
