Minnesota

Minnesota is the 32nd state. His capital is St. Paul. He is best friends with Wisconsin. In the first book, he traded places with Florida.

At the party, the states decided to trade places with each other. Minnesota had told Florida to go north; while Florida told him to go south. So Minnesota ended up in Florida's southern climate and Florida ended up in Minnesota's northern climate. When all the states settled into the new part of the country, this was a much better arrangement. However, after a couple of millenniums passed and all the excitement died down, the new places where all the states moved in, they gradually but inexplicably took the states a turn for the worst. Then the states, they began to realize that they weren't as happy as they thought.

Minnesota, he and Florida (after a couple of millenniums passed) were the first two states to find the new places the worst. Florida, he traded with Minnesota and was freezing in the frosty northern climate. Minnesota, he forgot to buy sunscreen and got an awful sunburn. Vermont (trying to hug Minnesota so he could cure Minnesota's sunburn) said to him, "A BIG HUG can make your SUNBURN feel better". Minnesota in pain let out a shriek of pain in response (a big, long, "YEOW"). He said, "YEOOOWCH!" (after he got ferociously sunburned from the sun).

Vermont, he had misguided methods of combating Minnesota's sunburn. But it did not really help him. He tried hugging Minnesota to cure Minnesota's sunburn. And it did not cheer the poor Minnesota (who got a sunburn) up.

In the end, he talked all about it to Wisconsin. Minnesota said, "Sunburns hurt!"; and Wisconsin said, "Sounds dreadful!".

In the second book, he performed a magic act where he attempted to saw South Dakota in half; it was actually North Dakota in the left slot of the box and South Dakota in the right slot. At home, he said "I promise - I will never attempt to saw you in half!"
