Answer 1

It's been said that every state in the USA has a Springfield.
This isn't true; 35 states have a Springfield or a close cousin;
but the following states are Springfield-deficient:
Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.

Answer 2

Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming

Answer 3

I don't think so. But there is a Springfield in several states: Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, just off the top of my head . . . I think they just used it so that the state would be ambiguous.
