New York State

New York along with California and Massachusetts is one of the three states that matter in this country, unlike those boring states in the middle. The people who live in New York tend to be smarter and better looking than you, and are much less gullible.

In fiction, countless Superheroes have their bases of operation in New York, which is clearly an allusion to the need to protect New York from NeoCons and maintain it as a haven for free, liberal thought.
