It always bothered me that the USA has some weird internal borders. Why is it a line? Why? That is wrong on so many levels.

This post was made by the EU gang. 🇪🇺

Some of our borders are natural or caused by conflict like yours, but others are a bunch of politicians dividing land they've never seen. The squares are all the latter situation

The early colonies had some borders by longitude or latitude and we just kept on with it like the stubborn asses that we are.

Colorado: "Fuck rivers, we are going all in on latitude and longitude!"

Utah: "That sounds awesome, we are also going to go all in!"

Wyoming: "Fuck Utah!"

Every US state has at least one straight line segment for a border except for Hawaii (duh). Not in an infinitesimal way, they all have a long straight line somewhere.
