Thousands Sign Petition To Merge Dakotas Into 'MegaKota'

January 12, 2019

Thousands of people are signing an online petition to merge North Dakota and South Dakota into a new state called "MegaKota."

Dillan Stewart started the petition because he thought it would "be pretty cool to have a state called MegaKota so yeah."

"I dream of a unified dakota," Andrew Toland commented on the petition.

"Alone they are weak but megakota shall ride from their remains and become the greatest state," Griffin Hoeschele wrote.

"This is the dumbest petition I've ever seen. So obviously I'm signing. Also, what frat boy named this?" Bethany Stender posted.

We did find some opposition, too.

"As someone who lives in South Dakota this would require us to recognize North Dakota as real and I cannot do that," Jtwohy commented.
