[Talk-us] Adding a new node by merging borders of two other existing nodes?

[Eric Patrick]

I’ll restate my objections here:

“The Carolinas” isn’t a state, it’s two different states, which require its
own border. If you’re gonna do that, what about “The Dakota”? If we start
naming regions, how far down the rabbit hole do we go? Yes, there are some
well established regions, Pacific NW & New England come to mind, but I
don’t see the need for two states.
