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]

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