Delaware is supposedly a state. Delaware does not in fact exist, it is a distortion of space-time that only appears to exist. Anyone you've met who thinks they have been to Delaware, or believes they have lived in Delaware have had fake memories implanted by the U.S. government. This is because they cannot explain it, and it would cause a mass panic if the public knew the truth. If you attempt to drive into Delaware you will wake up in Russia, naked, and with no memories. (This is how Russia gets new citizens).

A Northeastern state that has only one major city (Wilmington) and its capital is Dover. Famous for no sales tax, Delaware comes alive during the Christmas season with people from neighboring New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland looking for deals on items. Its main shopping malls in the north of the state are Christiana Mall, Concord Mall, and the Tri-State Mall. Cost of living is high, since the state needs to make revenue somehow (no sales tax really hurts). It is connected to New Jersey by the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Being near Philadelphia, Ocean City (MD), and Baltimore makes any nightlife in the state useless, as people will travel to those centers in search of entertainment. Even though it's the second smallest state in the Union, the northern half is extremely crowded. Despite its tiny area, it is a major link to the rest from the Northeast to the South, since I-95 runs though the northern half, and the New Jersey Turnpike ends at the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

I just want to quote something from #2 and clarify it:
"Cost of living is high, since the state needs to make revenue somehow (no sales tax really hurts)."
You need to check your facts. Have you compared it to PA and NJ? I didn't think so. Insurance is chaper, property taxes are cheaper, and I can get somewhat of a nice house for $250,000. Try finding a house in the PA or Jersey that isn't a shack or a trailer for that.

Small state where every resident rolls their eyes when someone says "Dela-Where?" to try to be funny. Sometimes 'the Capital of Philadelphia', Dull-Aware and Hell-Aware, but still a decent state. Surrounded by Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Hickville South Jersey. Between the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay/ Atlantic Ocean, and dammit, we know seafood. It may bore us sometimes, but it's not as bad as going to college in Amishville PA in a town where the college students make up more than 3/4 the population during the school year...

The first state in the union. Right on the border of the northern and southern regions, and it does have it's own accent depending where you live. Has 3 counties, New Castle, Kent, and Sussex.
New Castle County is considered part of the north and is home to the two largest cities in the state. Wilmington, which is a ghetto crime ridden extention of South Philly. And Newark, home of the University of Delaware. Lots of highways, and huge swaths of suburban housing neighborhoods are all over this area, and it can feel like a maze. New Castle County is considered part of the Philadelphia metropolitian area.
Kent and Sussex counties have more in common with the south and are very rural. It's common to see rednecks around there living on Chicken farms and driving beat up trucks. The capital Dover is the only large town, and it's Nascar race track is it's only touristy destination. Further south on the coast you got your stereotypical beach towns like Rehobeth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Lewes which draw alot of tourists in summer.
For a small state it's pretty unique from others.

Danny hated Delaware at first, because he got lost twice driving around the suburbs of New Castle county. It took him an hour to find his way to Rt 1 south, where he headed to Rehobeth beach to party with bar sluts all night.

Delaware, one of the most unknown places on the planet. Most people are misleaded into thinking that Delaware was a part of Pennsylvania in colonial times, when really, Pennsylvania was apart of Delaware. A lot of people would say that it might as well be apart of Pennsylvania, which I disagree with, because Delaware is a place of its own. Some may say it's boring in Delaware, when there are TONS of things to do. Harmless tax free shopping can be a fun thing to do on a Saturday night at Concord Mall, Christiana Mall, Rehoboth outlets, Rehoboth boardwalk, and way more places. Despite that there aren't any concert venues or amusement parks; we do have 1 Ferris wheel. Delaware could be its own country. In the North; it's filled with fast speaking and party-goers. The central; farmers. And the last part, Slower lower Delaware; Rehobeth boardwalk, which is a hot spot for gays and lesbians, beach, and kites.
