Superior (proposed state)

Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUP : Superior (proposed state)

Superior is the name of a 51st state proposal involving the secession of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from the state of Michigan. Named for Lake Superior, the idea is only semi-serious at the best of times, and it is quite unlikely to ever come to fruition due to the large amount of funding that the area recieves from the lower part of the state, and the strong connections that were cemented by the completion of the Mackinac Bridge, which gave the peninsulas direct highway connection.
