Imagine if "Lake Michigan" was a state.

Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

9.6% GDP larger than Texas.

And the land size of "Lake Michigan" is smaller than Texas, yet with more people and 45 Electoral Votes v 40 for Texas.

And 4 NFL v 2, 4 MLB v 2, 4 NBA v 3.

Best of all - College Football national titles:

"Lake Michigan" 30 v Texas 4

Changes how you see things right?
