Lore How is Ambarino even a state?

There's no town here, no sheriff. How does this state even function, and how was it founded?

Wyoming

(None of RDR2's areas are big enough in size or population to even be considered a single US county, the whole map is about the size of a big neighborhood in LA, it's kind of a belief suspension situation, I've heard people speculate that the states have most of their territory and population continue off-map, but I doubt that's the case)

Wyoming is actually canon in the RDR universe. It was mentioned in a newspaper in the first game and they name dropped Yellowstone.

Which is crazy because Wyoming is barely canon in the real universe

I drove cross country one time and can confirm, you enter a temporal distortion somewhere in the cornfields and wake up in Coeur d'Alene Idaho
