Assume that the state becomes a very large lake, bay, inlet, or other body of water - fresh water if it's inland, salt water if it's coastal.
I'd have to go with Nevada. If the state was too far north, it would create a lot of snow and ice and stuff, which might not be good. Nevada would create a lot of humidity and extra farmland in Arizona, Utah, and eastern California, which would greatly increase American productivity and prosperity. [Reply]
I like the idea of Nevada as well. You increase the water table out west while simultaneously eliminating one of the biggest wasteful drains on the water out there. [Reply]
