This is an interesting map exercise. The idea is that there could be as many as 124 states if all secession proposals ever advanced had been completed (also, if we had added Cuba and several pieces of Mexico, and all outlying areas had been given statehood).
Most of these, of course, were probably only
semi-serious proposals. I recall the idea of Baja Arizona being
floated a few years ago, but other than a few lefties at UofA I don't
think anyone even paid any attention to the idea, much less supported
it.
On the other hand, while I don't know how the locals
feel about it, I've always thought a State of Delmarva makes a
lot of sense, geographically at least. Dividing a relatively tiny
peninsula into three pieces strikes me as pointless.
