Thinking that we could completely drop Dakota, Orleans, and the Philippines from the version 2.0 release @jcarbaugh. Special-casing them presents problems regarding:

  • capital
  • time_zones, since official time zones, much less IANA ones, may not have even been invented; eg, Orleans was admitted to the union as the State of Louisiana about 70 years before US time zones were implemented
  • abbr and ap_abbr, for similar timeline reasons
