A case could always be made for having two Californias but six? Don't think so...

I like that Western California is south of Central California. And that Southern California is east of Western California. And who needs 6 Californias, what the fuck?

Also, I was going to say it's against the constitution for a state to be created within the territory of another state (with the only exceptions being Maine before the provision was approved in the constitution and West Virginia during the Civil War since Virginia was in the CSA) and the wiki link on the 6 Californias already mentions it in the opening paragraph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Four_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_1:_New_states).
