so what is it....not talking what it contributes to the country or anything like that....just which state is the most unknown/insignificant...
i think north dakota is the clear winner....other than the movie fargo which primarily took place in minnesota is there a single thing this state is known for
the only other options were sd (mount rushmore gives it the advantage over nd)...idaho (they have potatoes and boise)...wyoming (yellowstone)...rhode island (the smallest state)
Delaware, i hate that place. I would have to say North Dakota or Wyoming for the middle of the country, and Rhode Island for the east coast

delaware could be up there for the worst state but being the first state it could never be the most irrelevant...no way wyoming...yellowstone and the national parks there make it very well known
more i think about it it might be rhode island...the movie fargo may give north dakota a slight advantage...people on the east barely know anything about rhode island...but if they do its only because of proximity...imagine if rhode island was btwn oregon and washington
Vermont has less people in it than most suburbs.
I don't actually believe that Arkansas exists because I've never set foot there and never met anyone who has ever been there.
Rhode Island shouldn't even exist. There is less than nothing there.
vermont has maple syrup which all by itself gives it a failry significant thing to be known by
arkansas would be a great call and maybe the winner pre bill clinton...but also arkansas has a state school that is relevant in sports...this is where north dakota moves past a lot of states in terms if irrelvance...university of north dakota FTL
Alaska has to be up there.
alaska wtf?
alaska probably isnt even in the top 10
Rhode Island was the first state to outlaw slavery. It's capital is a cool city that has good schools (RISD, Brown, Johnson&Wales). Providence has tons of good restaurants, even if it is a sleepy town.
It's also a major sailing hub, which draws a lot of different people and culture to the state.

and none of those things (cept perhaps sailing) make it even a little bit known around the country...im not asking what is the best or worst state....i do think of sailing when i think rhode island...and maybe that puts it behind north dakota...but im not sure
is sailing > fargo in terms of significance
farg if I know...it is to me, but who cares?
Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Mississippi
what about New Mexico?
new mexico isnt a bad one but
roswell > fargo
the pit > anything sports related having to do with north dakota
theres also something mystical about the southwest part of this country with the deserts and mountains together along with the sunsets and new mexico along with arizona soley carry that torch...where as theres like 10 other states that are flat and barron like north dakota
this thread belongs in June when we have nothing else to bicker about
Joe Mays

Nebraska. It has not identity what so ever...
After that I'd go with North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
nebraska cornhuskers are one of the top 5 all time college football programs...that puts the state far and away ahead of north dakota
Is it possible that no one has mentioned Wyoming? It doesn't even have a city that I've ever heard of.
yeah but it has yellowstone
Big whoop. It's so insignificant that it has to SHARE Yellowstone, which is the only thing it's know for.

I'd say the odds are pretty good that they have college sports teams because there's farg all else to do there. So, ignoring the fact that the young adults in those states found ways to kill time, there is nothing of any value there.

every state has one thing but that one thing is better than north dakotas one thing
imo theres only two choices here
a. north dakota
b. rhode island
i give it to north dakota because at least rhode island is known as the smallest state
Wyoming
Arkansas
Rhode Island
Everything else.

West Virginia, without a doubt.
Drinking in Morgantown ftw.
im with north dakota
if there first thing you think of when you mention a state is a cohen brothers movie from 1994, then you have a winner.
rhode island has a mediocre to halfway decent basketball program, a semi well-known town in providence, the fact that its the smallest state, one of the 13 original colonies, and on the east coast. And therefore, more significant than some giant waste of land in MA
wyoming is a close second, most people probably dont know that yellowstone is in there.
also montana. maybe their slogan of big sky country puts it over the top, i dont know. there is NOTHING there.
Wyoming FTW. Not even close, IMO.
Well, Wyoming has a general sense of frontier to it. I'd say that's more than Idaho, unless you're really into potatoes.

The answer is North Dakota, followed by Kansas.
IGY, you're a tard for thinking Delaware is the worst state. Hell one of the worst states ever is directly to your south.....and lets just go ahead and include the whole Bible Belt in that category.
As for this thread...the answer is Iowa by and far. No one EVER remembers that state, and when they do they only remember that the capital is Des Moines. They have no professional sports teams, and the Hawkeyes are...mildly known. If that.
Other than that, it can also be known (read: not known) for being the home state of two of America's tragedies...Herbert Hoover, and Slipknot.
North Dakota is more well known if only for being one of two states with "North" in it. North and South Dakota, while very insignificant, are always grouped together and thus remembered. Iowa...seriously no one ever remembers that damn state even exists, and I can't think of one important thing that it actually contributes to America....Not even a pretty good movie.

World wide? I'd be surprised.
does everyone in the world know it...no...but its big enough to spread across the oceans...just like the french crossaint or irish whiskey...plus you gotta remember they also export potato flakes and boxed mashed potatos ect...which all have idaho on them

I have no idea what a Q rating is, but you changed the rules to accomodate your opinion on Delaware because without major corporations this country would cease to exist.
people in other countries absolutely do not know that potatoes are from idaho.
i would think the majority of people in the business world do know that the tax laws make DE a good state to be incorporated in.
the answer here is montana. montana has nothing except a little piece of yellowstone which no one knows is even in montana.
QuoteJohn Deere's HQ is in Iowa
I've been there. If I remember correctly it's on the other side of the river, though, in Moline Illinois.
unless the q rating (or measuring its popularity by majority) is majority in igy's mind you all have no shot
just give up now
we arent talking business world we are talking q rating and delawares tax laws dont come close to registering...it would be like saying people in the flower world know the best flower show in the country is in philly so philly is well known because of that...the cheesteak gives philly a q rating...ben franklin...the liberty bell ect...not a flower show...in delaware its the first state thing and thats it...in idaho its potaoes...ect...
montana is right there with north dakota...i dont think you can go wrong with picking nd montana or rhode island
WYoming motherfargers.
Idahos potatoes probably aren't exported, not even during the Irish Potato Famine. Other countries can easily grow potatoes and manufacturers probably use the regional crop for their products. But who knows - I'm sure there's a potato aficionado in Siberia wishing he had some of Idahos finest right now.
Idaho wasn't a state during the potato famine, so I bet you're right.
i don't think rhode island is anywhere near nd or montana. nothing in the northeast is. smallest state. ivy league and large universities. i think provincetown is "gay capital" of the us. lots of stuff going on for such a small place.

thats cause you live in the northeast are educated and travel a lot...outside of new england nine of ten people dont even know brown is a college much less ivy league and i would say 5/10 people in the country dont know its a state much less recognize it as a state for any reason...as i said before imagine if rhode island was btwn washington state and oregon...it wouldnt exist to even you

they most certainly are exported
rhode island being in new england, on the east coast and having providence doesnt make it significant, but it makes it more significant than montana, wyoming and north dakota.
between those 3, yellowstone and a semi recognizable capital like cheyenne put wyoming over the top.
choosing between montana and north dakota in terms of significance is borderline impossible. the most significant thing about montana is joe montana and hes not even from there. for north dakota its easy to remember because you just pair it with south dakota.
so its a tie i suppose.
nobody cares about new england cept people in new england
nobody cares about rhode island being on the east coast except you
nobody cares about providence period
rhode island is delware but its the samllest state instead of the first
Don't hate on li'l Rhodie.
youre right no one does
but that alone makes it more significant than montana or north dakota. it doesnt make it significant at all, but still more so than anything in MA

Jewboy, no one cares what you have to say.
Slower Lower is the largest producer of chicken via purdue/tyson in the country. Dupont was founded in delaware along the brandywine, and pretty much invented every polymer that we use today. The best part about Delaware imo is the location. Depending where you are driving from, your looking at 30 minutes to philly, 2 to DC, 1.5 to Bmore, 1.5 to the beaches, 2.5 to the mountains.
I still have to go with North Dakota, because today its like -62 degrees

I visit Delaware a lot, tax free shopping and all, plus Dover mall is loaded with Eagles stuff.
Up until a few years ago, the whole goddamn state was a trailer park. Double wides every were you went. They let people put trailers anywere. And there are more places to buy a nice double wide than anywere on the eastern seaboard. Ron's Mobile Homes (http://www.ronsmobilehomes.com/), comes to mind.
Having said that though, I like Delaware for the camping and stuff. Delaware Bay is a great place to fish. The land is very diverse, with water ways all over the place. And they have Dover Downs, gambliing and racing. I know most here hate NASCAR, why I don't know. Not all NASCAR fans are inbreed racist idiots. I've been to a lot of tracks, Indy, Pocono, Bristol, Martinsville, and The Monster Mile in Dover is one of the best places ever to watch a race.
And hey, it's the Del in Delmarva, so I gots to luv it.
