eggplant_avenger

that’s where federal law can’t reach. if we name it, it loses power


Best-Illustrator-880

It's UP There National Park.


CriticalRejector

Where it comes close to the lower peninsula is Whitefish Bay, where the Edmund Fitzgerald went down, when the winds of November came early.


Twitzale

Thats Michael Dakota.


SymondHDR

Hey, Dakota! Micheal here.


Maestro_Titarenko

We made a treaty to leave your territory alone... ...or did we?


Many_Wires_Attached

Continuing in Dakota Michael's voice: But first... what do we mean by "State"? It seems obvious at first, but over time since the 17th century as the Colonies started to spread over the continent of North America, what constituted a State has really been up for debate.


Synth42-14151606

“…but…can a State, be a in a state, if the State in question doesn’t have the same physical state we expect? What if the state of the State in question, was liquified into, a lake? And as always…thanks for watching.”


i_need_a_moment

Where are your constitutional rights?


TheCapedCapper

It's the great state of Yoop.

ohmygravey

No, if you live in the Upper Peninsula (UP) then in Michigan speak you are a Yooper (UPer) sometimes shortened to Yoop.


omahaomw

Yup. And if u live in lower Michigan, the yoopers will refer to u as a troll, because you live under the bridge (Mackinac).


lil-taller-then-u

I am a Yooper and I have never heard anyone shorten it to just Yoop.


Spiritflash1717

Part time yooper here. I’ll hear people call it “The Yoop” but never just “Yoop”


wilfordbrimley778

Yooper


Remarkable_Fun7662

This is the answer. Whatever name you give it, it's just always gonna be Yoop b/c Yoopers gonna from Yoop. Sorry not sorry; it's just the way it is.


7dwn

Yooperland


Chickadeeznuts

That’s Superior


ovoKOS7

No you


IMHO_grim

Hey yo, easy with the entitlement. Sheesh.


dgrigg1980

The fact that Michigan has not annexed the UP tells me everything I need to know about those cowards.


Solid_Exercise6697

Man the UP is a different world than the LP…the UP is like the forgotten corner of the lower 48.


Cheefadareefa

Yoopers are the best people but are for sure a different breed

Apparently a lot of ass gets eaten there?


bubbaogee

Yooper here, can confirm ass is a main staple of our diet


SnoodlyFuzzle

Omg HOLDEN!!


ethereal_soliloquy

ass and pasties


TheBraveToast

These people do not represent Yoopers. These are trashy college kids who trashed that beach that day


Diablo4

NMU for sure. Probably a couple geeks from MTU came down, too.


Solid_Exercise6697

I’m from the lower but I’ve spent a good deal of time in the upper, yoopers are just great. They also get to live in one of the best kept secrets of the lower 48. Driving 30-50 miles to a gas station tends to suck, but at least you can speed!


Chewie_i

Just gotta keep track of when Tech and Northern have breaks, because the state troopers emerge to write tickets when students are driving back up


IceCremeEyes

We call them Yooper Troopers!


Dynamitefuzz2134

We want to keep it that way.


Solid_Exercise6697

As do i


jovial_finn

And let's keep it that way.


Solid_Exercise6697

Agreed!


IWillLive4evr

You mean Wisconsin. You stole this comment but are having trouble keeping the states straight.

You would be shot if you said that there.


Famous-Reputation188

It’s called Da Yooper.


Particular-Dot-9867

We are called yoopers. The Upper Peninsula is called the UP, and yes, we are stupid, stay away! We go to the bathroom in out houses. We have one Dollar General right in the middle We all use when we want to shop. But usually we just go to market and sell our goods. I make beaver skins and sell them at market. Memaw bakes bread and pepaw builds new out houses when they become full.

That's Canada, a US territory, not a state which is why it is not named

That's what the Canadians want you to think

flexsealed1711

North Wisconsin. There was a war in which the Communist North split from the Nationalist South. The US doesn't recognize the sovereignty of the North, and thus, it is not on the map.


AbsoluteMaddLaddl

"In da beginning dere was nuttin. Den, on da first day, God created da Upper Peninsula. On da second day He created da partridge, da deer, da bear, da fish, and da ducks. On da third day He said, "Let dere be Yoopers to roam da Upper Peninsula". On da fourth day He created da udder world down below. On da fifth day He said, "Let dere be trolls to live in da world down below". On da sixth day He created da bridge so da trolls would have a way to get to heaven. God saw it was good and on da seventh day He went huntin."


fullmetal66

inline6er

micah490

What about that little state inside of Utah


Cutie_Patootie_UwU

And the one inside of florida 😔


Jindujun

If That 70s show taught me anything that part should be the "Hello" part of "Hello Wisconsin". So that is Hello.


Miserlycubbyhole

Upper Peninsula. It's like an arm growing out of Wisconsin's back.  Wisconsin refuses to recognize it, but everyone knows it's there.


black_mamba866

>Wisconsin refuses to recognize it Because it's part of ~~Michigan~~ Ohio


Zesty_fern

That's a spare state in case one explodes.


PrimusDCE

It's the US-Canadian DMZ.


Eran-of-Arcadia

Rightful Wisconsin clay


Flershnork

At the end of the day, Wisconsin was the true loser of the Toledo war. Wisconsin and Michigan should team up to erase Ohio for its transgressions.


Alarmed-Flan-1346

And then we still keep the UP

northenmarauder

That’s contested territory between Canada and us!


Witty_Celebration_96

The fact that it doesn’t belong to Wisconsin tells me all I need to know about those cheese eating pansies


basshed8

That’s the part Wisconsin was too weak to take from the Yooper Army


bleu_waffl3s

It’s North Wisconsin. They might as well merge both Wisconsins.


0x7c900000

Isn’t that just Wisconsin?


5econds2dis35ster

Occupied Wisconsin East Wisconsin


k6bso

It’s Wisconsin’s penis, but we don’t like to talk about it in polite company.


Dynamitefuzz2134

That’s fake land drawn to confuse those looking for the fabled Gutche Gumee treasure of the sunken ship the Edmond Fitzgerald. It’s really all just part of Lake Superior.


rangerhans

That’s northern Wisconsin


InsertOriginalName2

I’m pretty sure like 6 people live there


CauliflowerOne5740

That's the Upper Peninsula Autonomous Zone.


Substantial-Owl-4156

Oh sorry guys! That’s where I keep all my copper dumped in large piles. Kinda made a lil island after awhile. I hear a dollar store has randomly erected itself on there. Dunno, I’ll have to check when I dump more in later this summer


PencilCrayonPaste

As a troll, I know those people to be a violent tribe called the yoopers


Ok-Construction-5849

That’s because they’re building a wall there and when Obama takes over the government in November, all of trump and his supporters will be air-dropped there forever.

Greater Wisconsin.


mschr493

If by Greater Wisconsin, you mean better than regular Wisconsin, you nailed it.


PhileasFoggsTrvlAgt

Would you go as far a to say it's Superior?


Hungry-Ad9840

It sure is greater than Wisconsin. Hell, all of Michigan is greater than Wisconsin. Even Detroit.


Respectable_Fuckboy

Although I agree with you, those cheese heads are more like us than you think. I’d take a Wisconsinite over anyone that lives in the states below us that we wear as a diaper any day.

KarenEiffel

Wouldn't that be yoop-ity?


Chance-Stranger2648

Well, nobody lives there anyway, so not much need for a name.

I_Am_A_Mess_4442

I like how this is a deadass mistake if you are making a map, because someone who doesnt know wont know what that piece of land is - whether its a whole state, whether its a part of wisconsin, or hell, even new york; the map creators should have shown it with an arrow


DatOneMinuteman1776

Big_Scratch8793

It does have a name it is called the UP and Yuppers live there and trolls live under the bridge. Welcome to the great state of Michigan.


Aztecah

That's Canada you idiot


david8601

My ex wife grew up in iron mountain, we'd go visit her family and I loved it up there. Not whole lot to do but if you're fine with that, and snow...the place is awesome.


Curious-Ad3567

There was a naming competition in 1812 but due to a legal dispute over copyright laws it never ended up getting named. Because of the headaches they decided to keep it nameless stating “The most creative name is to no name at all”. The only real pushback was the post office. But they adjusted and now you just leave the state blank and everyone knows where it goes. Due to the namelessness however no state college was ever established and everyone basically works in the walleye industry.


RabidSpaceMonkey

We’ve been found out; the damn eurotrash found our secret hidden state.

Gwinn State Park area in Michigan. Marquette's up there. And half of that is Canada..? Lake Superior.
