Do I get a cigar?
Percentage of government officials jailed for corruption?
I’d vote marijuana legalisation for medical use, but would expect Alaska to be included because they are all potheads there.
Dunno, but as Illinois is Obama’s home state it’s something about elections.
The number of federal/state employees under indictment for corruption. Darker blue is better, orange and red worse?
I’d like to think it’s something profound like the red/orange ones are those in which there have been no executions.

Concealed carry laws.
IQ
The sustainability of state and local government debt burdens; with bluish hues more sustainable than amber ones.
