Maryland

Maryland is a lesser-known statehuman. This is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. Among its occasional nicknames are Old Line State, the Free State, and the Chesapeake Bay State. It is named after the English queen Henrietta Maria, known in England as Queen Mary.

Male Maryland
Male Maryland is depicted having black fingerless gloves, and black aviator glasses that compliment his pure white skin. On his short-sleeved tracksuit, there are designs referencing his flag, and both of his arms have bandages around his elbow. He adorns dark blue jeans and a black leather belt with a silver circular buckle.

Female Maryland
Female Maryland is shown in a and a red and black plaid pinafore, under it a huge pure white turtle neck sweater with tight cuffs. On her bright mustard yellow skin matching her flag, there are dark gray diamonds on her hands. On top of her head is possibly a crown of orange hibiscus

Other Versions
Due to being based on stereotypes, Maryland is usually seen wearing sun-glasses no matter the weather. The suburbs of Maryland such as Potomac are Bethesda are among the richest and most well educated in the country, and populated by lawyers and doctors with preppy rich children who drive Mercedes-Benz so Maryland may look very preppy or formal.

In the far west, south, and east Maryland is considered to be very hill-Billie like almost like a Southern State. However, it's to note that Maryland's population is registered as 55% democratic. So it's best to stereotype them as the first version.

Because of the coast, they may even be depicted as a fisherman.

Personality
Maryland is a bit crazy, being sandwiched between the South and New England has made them a bit indecisive and a bit uncaring of those around them. New England and the South say "Your not a real Southern State! You're not a real New England state! Fine by Maryland. It's hard to give them a personality with being so varied even compared to most states. There's a reason they're called "Little America" they're so diverse.

And because they're so diverse, they're quite nonjudgmental, however, Maryland is very educated and smart and is very rich, so they're also a bit snobbish.

Flag Meaning
The flag of Maryland consists of the 17th century heraldic banner with the colors and shield from the coat of arms of the Calvert-Crossland families of Sir George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore.

Virginia
Virginia is very close to Maryland, but they do have their spats. In 2003, they had a legal case on the control of the Potomac River but the fight has always been there. Some people may even portray them as a couple due to both of them being headcanoned as the parents of the District of Columbia. Maryland sees Virginia as a job stealer too and someone who forgets to return the things they borrow. So their relationship is more of Maryland getting annoyed at Virginia but still being together for their child D.C.

Estonia
Not a very known relationship in the fandom, Maryland, and Estonia are very close! When the Berlin Wall fell and the Cold War ended Estonia once again became independent in 1991 after Soviet Occupation. In the following year, the United States assigned a partner National Guard for each Baltic country through the State Partnership Program. In 1993, Estonia was partnered with Maryland!

Maryland and Estonia were partnered for numerous reasons, one is because lots of Estonians live in Maryland, and Estonia is also known as Maryland! Estonia got the name "Maryland during, 1193. when Pope Celestine III called for a crusade against the pagans in Northern Europe (Which included Estonia). By 1207, the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea were converted, and in 1216, Pope Innocent III called the new Christian territories Terra Mariana, or, the “Land of Mary”. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Terra Mariana has been used as a poetic name for Estonia.

Due to this, the country and the State grew close with many Estonian celebrations being a bit normalized in Maryland and many Maryland cities became partnered with Estonian ones such as Annapolis and Tallinn, the capital of both respectively.[1]
