    Well this is just inaccurate.

    North North North North Virginia should be North North North East North North Virginia, and that propagates through The State Formerly Known As New Hampshire and The State Formerly Known As Maine, too.

    North North North North Virginia would be Old Canada.

    Edit: I guess technically it would be North North East North North North Virginia; the labeling would track backwards from the current state to Virginia. East North Virginia would be 1 state east of “North Virginia”, for example, which would be The State Formerly Known As Delaware.

    I’ve spent way too much time thinking about this already.

      It’s appropriate that they all be slightly wrong, though. Virginia extends slightly west of West Virginia, so West Virginia should really be North Virginia. To use the same naming convention means to carry similar errors.

      Agreed.

      They list Ohio as “West North Virginia” when it should either be “North West Virginia” (North of [West Virginia]) or “West North North Virginia” (West of [North North Virginia, AKA, Pennsylvania])

              To be fair, Virginia illegally seceded from the Union. Illegally seceding from an illegal secession makes you a patriot I think.

                Regardless we want them back. My argument is thin I agree.

                But I live 1 town out of WV so I can jump ship if I have too. VA is becoming a silly place.
