I have atleast met someone who is from Delaware. I have also known people who went to school in Delaware.

The state Im not sure really exists is Montana. Size wise on the map it is a decently sized state. Yet in my entire life I have never met someone who said they are from Monntana, has family Montana, traveled to Montana went to school in Montana, none of that.

Do they even have any major cities, because i definitely cant think of a single city there. Is there anything identifiable about Montana, or are they just big for nothing.

I know for a long time, you didn't even have to show proof of ID to register a corporation in Delaware. People could register fake corporations in Delaware and wash dirty money through them, and since the company was registered in the USA, they would rarely get questioned about it.

Multiple international gun runners who have been busted used Delaware anonymity laws to establish "corporations" so they could launder their money into the US banking system.

When driving from Philly to DC we stopped on the Deleware Turnpike and went to a rest-stop/gas station/food court. It was very different, but did have a cinnabons so that was cool. It was very international.

My niece got deep-sniffed by a guy from there.

Can't recall his name.

It really is a pointless state, Maryland should annex it. Rhode Island is also pointless.

Someone probably felt sorry for the state so they gave them something to put their name under...

You've never heard of Billings or Bozeman? Montana is awesome. You should visit sometime.

Delaware was created for a tax loophole.

Also, the city where the University of Delaware is located (Newark) is pronounced New Ark, not like the NJ city of the same name (Newerk). It actually was New Ark at one point.

If you call it the latter, you will get unfriendly looks.
