50 is such a round number though...


I ran across this map the other day and well, its fucking weird. Its an entry in a one of my favorite blogs Strange Maps. I think the first paragraph explains enough but if your curios click on the image and find out for yourself...
"In its short-lived attempt at existence, the US state of Absaroka (pronounced ab-SOR-ka) managed to acquire quite a few trappings of statehood: a governor and capital were selected, Absarokan car license plates issued, and there even was a Miss Absaroka 1939 (the first and only one). The King of Norway also visited, apparently – although he might not have suspected that it was a state visit."
