A while back, I seem to remember someone asking for the Irish for where they lived. Redwolf put, An Stát Órga for California. I thought it would be fun to list the nicknames of other states and placenames for anyone interested.

Alabama- An Stát Casúir Bhuí
Alaska- An Teorann Dheireadh
Arizona- An Stát Fothar Mór
Arkansas- An Stát Nadúrtha
California- An Stát Órga
Colorado- An Stát Céad Bliain
Connecticut- An Stát Bunreacht
Delaware- An Stát Chéad
Florida- An Stát Taitneamh
Georgia- An Stát Péitseog
Hawaii- An Stát Aloha
Idaho- An Stát Seod
Illinois- An Stát Fásach Féir
Indiana- An Stát Hoosier
Iowa- An Stát Súil Seabhac
Kansas- An Stát Lus Gréine
Kentucky- An Stát Gormfhéar
Louisiana- An Stát Peileacán
Maine- An Stát Crann Péinne
Maryland- An Stát Seanlíne
New Mexico- Tír na Draíocht
New York- An Stát Impireacht
North Carolina- An Stát Seantuaisceart
North Dakota- An Stát Gairdín Síocháin
Ohio- An Stát Buckeye
Oklahoma- An Stát Sooner
Oregon- An Stát Béabhar
Pennsylvania- An Stát Eocharach
Rhode Island- An Stát Aigéan
South Carolina- An Stát Pailmín

Pennsylvania- An Stát Eochair ? That's only the "keystone" state without the genitive => Eocharach is the gen.
