A little history/geography quiz

[CutMeMick]

OK, while we're waiting for the answer to X's insect question, here's another.

What two countries border Mexico to the south?

That would be Guatemala & Belize.

[CGM]

You are correct sir. Welcome to the game. Feel free to add a question of your own.

[CGM]

Name all 50 states in the US of A

[Scrap]

Thought there was 51

[CGM]

Point taken Scrap. I see it as a technicality, but I'm not sure. It is my understanding that District of Columbia is not really a state. So I'll revise my question to say:

Name all fifty states in the USA, excluding District of Columbia. Bonus points if you can name all the state nicknames as well.

[Scrap]

Thats a long answer Id wear my finger out typing

[CGM]

I'm trying it myself, and I'm stuck on 47 I only know a few of the state nicknames though.
