So for a long time, including the years I spent living there, I thought this was just another random state nickname. But I just read somewhere that it derives
from Connecticut traders passing off wood as nutmeg to unsuspecting consumers out-of-state. Is this true? If so, best state nickname ever!

New Mexixo is Land of Enchantment? I don't think that word means what they think it means. Show Me State would be good if Missourians weren't pasty disgustoids. Florida wins. Simple and jealousy-invoking: The Sunshine State |

Wasn't Kentucky known as "The Land of 12 Year Old Brides"? Or was it Arkansas?
