Massachusetts
Massachusetts takes its name from the Massachusett tribe of indigineous people, who lived in the Great Blue Hill region south of Boston. The term roughly translates as “at or about the Great Hill”.
I demand we re-instate the borders of the original Province of Massachusetts Bay:
NY & NJ, you're ours!
NH & VT, get back over here!
ME & VT, don't think of leaving!
CT & RI, join the club!
You too, Nova Scotia, you're ours!

@sarabee1995 There is a lil hill in New Zealand with a longish name.

Roughly translates as "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his flute to his loved one"
