Don't piss off ND... if they withdrew from union, they'd be the 3rd biggest Nuke power in the world! (that's what I heard in the 80s... not sure if it's still true after all the treaties...)
How about "A place for the wind to traverse... " we always used to say it was windy in ND because "Montana blows & Minnesota sucks..." (lol)
As they say, "Why not Minot? Freezin's the reason!" Or "Only the chosen are Frozen!"
(It was actually a pretty neat place to live, and aside from having no mountains, I didn't mind it at all... but that's me. To each his own!)
