Kalamazoo isn’t so bad. There’s… umm… and… uhh… okay there’s a lot of nothing but it’s halfway between Detroit and Chicago, the dragstrip is 25min North and Gingerman is 45min West.

fair warning, i didn't do any research. i just made a statement.

More curiosity than anything else. Since rivers and bodies of water are often used as state boundaries it doesn't completely surprise me.

Florida is split east to west by Lake Okeechobee and the Okeechobee Waterway, which is navigable from the Atlantic to the Gulf and is freshwater. That probably doesn't count though since a good portion of it is man-made.

Illinois is split by the Illinois river up to the man-made canal that links it with the Chicago river which (used to) drain into Lake Michigan.

Missouri is divided roughly in half by the Missouri river.

I'm guessing there are other states.

Connecticut river splits Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Maryland and Pennsylvania are split by the Susquehanna.

New York has the Hudson - Erie Canal system if you count some man made waterways.

Today I learned that USA has the most tanks (unsure how many actually reside on home soil) and Turkey is second in the table!! What the fuck!! I'm sure there must be a valid reason why....

You would have 3,000 tanks as well if your shared borders with Syria, Iran and Iraq!

I suppose you have a point.. But I am always optimistic, NATO bros would jump in to assist so I would save my money to buy some nice motors...
