North Dakota has its interesting features, such as the Theodore Roosevelt NP with its rugged landscape and bison herd, the (former) Burning Coal Vein, the Turtle Mountains (only a few hundred feet higher than the surrounding plains, but wooded whereas the plains are not), and the geographic center of North America. I also visited a lignite mine near Beulah. The eastern part of the state is as flat as the Central Valley of California, the High Plains of Texas, and the Delta region of Mississippi, and the soil is even blacker than the Blackland Prairie of Texas.
I saw a postcard poking fun at the state (I can't remember if it was in Bottineau or Dickinson) that asked "what are the two best parts of North Dakota?--the eastern and western ends of I-94".
So I counted, he said north Dakota 9 times
@@DrElsemere he said it 15 times
Man, and I've told people that North Dakota wasn't a real state ironically, even before 2012. Never realized it was technically accurate.
As a North Dakotan, I can confirm the State nor I actually exist. We are a figment of South Dakotan’s imagination, and are invented to explain the existence of Area 51.

Can confirm. The richest man in New Town, ND told the oil companies to stop drilling on his land because he had too much money, he didn’t know what to do with it.

Ohio wasn't technically a state until 1953! When Ohio was getting ready to celebrate it's 150th year as a state, it was discovered that back in 1803 during the statehood process, something had been omitted. I believe a special act of congress was passed to make Ohio a state retroactively to 1803.
Ah, yes, paperwork. The bane of literally everyone for centuries 🤣
The power of true administration is when either party realizes they made a mistake because it was much too obtuse only for everything to be made null down the line due to technicalities
I love bureaucracy
1953 truly was the worst year in the nation in that case
Well, no. According to Wikipedia: "On February 19, 1803, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson signed an act of Congress that approved Ohio's boundaries and constitution.[55] However, Congress had never passed a formal resolution admitting Ohio as the 17th state. Although no formal resolution of admission was required, when the oversight was discovered in 1953, as Ohio began preparations for celebrating its sesquicentennial, Ohio congressman George H. Bender introduced a bill in Congress to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1, 1803, the date on which the Ohio General Assembly first convened.[56] At a special session at the old state capital in Chillicothe, the Ohio state legislature approved a new petition for statehood which was delivered to Washington, D.C., on horseback, and approved that August.[56][57][58]"
The fact that they sent the petition by horseback should show how seriously they took the issue in the first place.
@@reamick, tell that to the "neigh-sayers"!
Maybe North Dakota should merge with South Dakota to form MegaKota instead. It will probably still be ignored, but it would still be greater.
Yeah and make the 2 Virginia's merge together to become Chad.
Great Dakota
They were both originally part of “Dakota Territory” but apparently they were split up because it would have been “too big”.
@@joermnyc that was one factor another is that we (the North Dakotans) wanted the capital to be located in present day Bismarck while the south wanted it to be Sioux falls, which added with the fact that both sides strongly disliked each other didnt help either. the North was also connected by rail to the Pacific Northwest and Minneapolis while the south was connect to somewhere else (as a north dakotan i am obligated to only say the bare minimum regarding the inferior dakota) which seperated the the two groups vastly. All those reasons combined to mean one big Dakota wouldve never been united
Absolutely fucking not.

One thing to add. when the Louisiana purchase came Lewis and Clark spent most of there journey in North Dakota. Also Sakakawea is from there or others call it Sagagawea. So ND was actually has a pretty popular background. And ND was a big part of bonanza farms to get wheat to St. Paul MN back in the day because they needed wheat. Just wanted to give some quick history about ND for people who don’t know much.
And for a time, NDakota was one of two states with two people on US coins. Virginia had Washington and Jefferson ; NoDak had Sacagewa and her son Jean-Baptiste.

Top 3 wet dreams of all Americans:
1: North Dakota not becoming a State in 2012.
2: Florida ceasing to exist.
3: California drifting off of the mainland and becoming an island.
nah just cede anything south of Sacramento and west of I5 to Mexico keeping a 1000 year lease on our military bases. I told something of that effect to my buddy who grew up in Mexico and he said "nah man they would ruin home" so Southern California even Mexico doesn't want you. Might as well make the state of Jefferson a thing at that point as well. And while we are at it split Oregon and Washington down the crest of the Cascades and rearrange them in to two states running North to South with the western state being something like New Pacifica, and the Eastern State being Liberty. It would do a lot to improve self determination in the Pacific Northwest. Might as well give Hawaii the option to leave as well at that point considering the whole pineapple company coup that went on there at one point so its more than fair to see if they want to split off. As far as Florida goes all we have to do is wait a bit and let climate change do its thing.
nah..Number 3 is false
Number 3 would be cause for celebration greater than any celebration before. If Arizona and Nevada could have coastline, we could just permanently kick California out of the union and fix everything.

My late grandmother traveled around the continental USA in the 1960s by bus tours and the only state she missed was North Dakota.
ND is actually really important they started the shale oil boom(along with Texas), and ALL the pipelines and rail tracks from Alberta go through ND, so this state is definitely punching above it's weight class.
I'm not sure if it's still true or not, but it was the only state making money for a while, all the others were making more debt

Your videos always make me laugh, or well..almost always, but definitely tends towards always, at least most of the time. 😊
A similar thing happened with Ohio and I think some portion of Maine's statehood. The actual order of when all the states actually and technically became states is somewhat different than the "official" order you read in Wikipedia. All the states are now states on paper, but a few of them have quietly slipped in the door in the just the last 20 years or so. I'm looking at you Ohio.
Well, to be fair, 1953 wasn't exactly in the last 20 years
Wait so Sheen was right when he said north dakota didn't exist?
As a South Dakotan, this is awesome. North Dakota is just a few minutes older than SD, so the fact it didn’t exist is nice.
3:44 Sam you said "See," instead of "You see,". As a Wendover viewer and Extremities listener, I found this very jarring!
Spoiler: It was part of Canada
yes obama bought North Dakota from Canada
@@capturethesky7199 Well, in 1867 Montana wanted to leave the US and join Canada. True!
Got my doubts about this. Did the North Dakota constitution pre-2012 forbid the Article VI oaths or merely fail to require them? As normal practice, were the oaths administered in fact?.
Imagine my suprise when I found out for 10 years of my life my birth state technically didn't exist.
*Does that mean I'm still 8?*
xD!!
Time didn't stop...technjcally you just weren't born a United States citizen...

Next up: Why the moon doesn't actually exist.
It doesn’t. The moon is a lie.
According to QI, there is more than one moon. HAI should weigh in.
HAI, please don’t upload when I’m on a toilet.
Vex why not? That’s the best place to watch! Just the right length!
