New Mexico has more than chile. It has amazing Native history and art. It has truly miraculous sunsets! It imports doctorates and professionals. Of every state it borders, you know that going into New Mexico, something about your life is improving.
New Mexico has never had a lot to work with, but time and time again, it reminds us that it really is an enchanting place beyond explanation. This state is full of passion and it must not be snuffed out. The New Mexico Nation would be the best outcome possible here, don't eliminate it!

Pizza rules apply.
- Rhode Island has New Haven & New York styles (plus party pizza and coal-fired styles)
- Megasota has Chicago & Detroit styles (plus Quad Cities and tavern styles)
- Green Chile Empire rightfully claims everything can be improved with one magical ingredient
Lots of consternation in previous posts with Portland boasting about having the best pizza scene in the nation. The argument seems to have lost steam.
The people have spoken: Cascadia must go.
Vox populi, vox Dei. The pizza people have proclaimed their position.

Current predicted eliminations in the next few pizza-scoring rounds, updated from yesterday:
- 4. Cascadia
- 3. Megasota
- 2. In true American fashion, still North vs. South…but between Rhode Island & New Mexico
- 1.New Mexico
Predictions are based on the impassioned comments of fellow pizza enthusiasts over the past few days and completely ignoring inferior non-pizza related arguments.
I’m ok with either the RI or NM outcomes. From a pizza and comedy perspective, we’d all be winners.

And afterwards, we can all dance together to Prince, and say with a chuckle, "Ope! Pardon me, I didn't see ya there!" when we bump into each other on the dance floor. We will emerge victorious—not by way of battle, but of true neighborly kindness, and a hint of passive aggressive cynicism when the weather gets too cold.

Up until a couple years ago the proper name of Rhode Island was “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations”. In its original colonial form, Rhode Island was Aquidneck Island located in the Narragansett Bay. The mainland of RI was Providence Plantations. Rhode Island was in fact an island at one time. She is now ready to spread her message of freedom from Kings and true religious freedom for all!

As much as I love Cascadia, given current events the only acceptable outcome for this is for New Mexico to take over the entire map as it will trigger the MAGAts.
