This was great! Could something like this be done for the State of Jefferson in Southern Oregon/Northern California?

@makropulos:
Thanks for the comment. It's just an odd little obscure bit of American History. And therefore, just the kind of thing I like. I'm glad somebody else likes that kind of thing, too.

@Itachi:
I would be glad to make that game. And also the game for the proposed state of Lincoln. In fact for BOTH proposed states of Lincoln.
And a couple more beyond that....
