They'd be better off transliterating into something like Luwiziyana officially, like how Haiti is Ayiti in the national creole

What the fuck is in the middle, some kind of walrus angel?
The flag of the U.S. state of Louisiana consists of a rectangular field of blue with the arms of Louisiana, a pelican vulning herself, in white in the center, with a ribbon beneath, also in white, containing in blue the state motto: "Union Justice Confidence". The flag was officially adopted July 1, 1912, and is often referred to as the Pelican flag.
As early as 1812, the brown pelican appeared on the Louisiana state seal, various militia company colors, and uniform buttons, including on a flag with a blue field and the phrase "Union, Justice and Confidence".
Its Christian
That is a pelican feeding its young with its own blood (something pelicans don’t even actually do).

Trust the plan. Dyslexics are in control.

The state of Lois' Nana.

No fucking way that's a typo, right? I and N are so far away on the keyboard
If your brain is getting ready to type an N later on in the word and the signal replaces the "press I" with "press N"? I could see it.
I do that shit all the time when I'm on a keyboard lol
Probably want to type a little slower when you're writing 4 words for an 8 meter wide light projection, though.
Livin' on the edge
If that's what i wanted, I'd do it. 
This is actually part of the de-Frenchification of ~~Louisiana~~ Louisnana
Nah, judging from the a-suffix, it's derived from the Spanish version (Luisiana) of the French name (Louisiane).
semi-viral
what's the metric for this. I have the same question about semi-erect btw
I feel like people who have penises know intuitively what semi-erect feels like. It’s more of a vibe than a measurement :agony:
Engorged, yet still pliable
Ah yes Louisiana, known for its bananas. That's why we call it Louisinana
Most bananas used to enter the US through the port of New Orleans, purely by virtue of it being the closest port to where the majority were grown and with access to the Midwest via the Mississippi. Also the United Fruit Companies railroads in Central America were built with slave labor from New Orleans: https://archive.is/uxWGN
Huh so actually they should be called Louisnana
