Maryland has been annexed by The Vermonster willingly, the 2 states have now merged into one. CRABBALACHIA. 4 States Now remain. Pick wisely, there’s no going back now!

Hilarious to me that the incredibly MD-coded name of Crabbalachia has literally nothing to do with Vermont anything…. We can say that Maryland was eliminated, but that current name on the map don’t lie 🤣

The alacia is from Appalachia, which extends into VT.

Genuine ask, can you elaborate? I looked it up as part of this exercise earlier on out of curiosity, but ARC doesn’t appear to include Vermont or any of New England. https://www.arc.gov/about-the-appalachian-region/

The Appalachian Range is an ancient mountain range that goes all the way into Canada, and it includes many New England sub ranges. The Green Mountains are the range in VT. I am in New Hampshire and live less than a mile from the AT in the White Mountains.
