And the part containing Hollyweird will be known by the same name except the "GR" will be dropped. Actually California is properly represented in the U.S. Senate. It has two Senators just like every other state.
On the other hand Texas should absorb Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas.
Two states, east CA and west CA...Just draw a line north and south, about 25 miles in from the coast.
Or just make LA, and SF connected by a thin strip north and south...

That’s what I would say except instead of 25 miles, make it 50 miles with a deviation eastward south of Woodland, north of Stockton, so Sacramento can be in Western California.
That’s a country, not a State (as we understand the term). I don’t disagree, in the long term, though.
Happy New Year! Be safe and stay FRee.
