  abstract: The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couples' counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together? Quinn calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government, after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today, to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all, red, blue and purple. It's ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the United States into being.
