Easy-- there's only two, Wyoming and south of it, Colorado. Colorado in fact appears to be slightly rectangular. All the others have at least one more or less irregular boundary. As a child, I delighted in putting together a jigsaw puzzle of the US-- 48 pieces at that time. An excellent learning tool. Presumably other countries/regions could have such things too. The provinces of Colombia? The shires of England?? (Hmm-- maybe someone should make a jigsaw puzzle of Ill Bethisad.....) Extra points: which state (or states) is/are bordered by the greatest number of other states?
