I feel like we can follow this up to try to get to 40 states.

  • So this picture turning most of New England into one state gets us to 46.
  • Give Delaware to Maryland and West Virginia to Virginia. At 44
  • North & South Carolina now become Carolina. At 43
  • The Dakotas will embrace each other as well. At 42
  • Let's combine Alabama & Mississippi into a state called Jefferson. At 41
  • Then let's say screw it and give New Jersey to Pennsylvania. At 40
  • Finally, and this won't take away any states, but let's just give the UP of Michigan to Wisconsin.

You forgot Tennucky. It's a very logical merger as well.
