you couldnt "delete" New York if you wanted to
we have one of the strongest and largest National Guards in the Country
our State Guard ontop of that
our own Air Force and Navy (both at the National Guard and State levels)
our police forces rival most countries militarys

and thats not to mention that we are the economic and financial heart of the country
without us paying the bills your roads collapse your grandmas insulin stops showing up your food and water and goods and electricity stop flowing your soldiers stop getting paid etc etc etc

in reality you should be grateful that the Empire State hasnt woken up yet from its slumber and demanded its Birthright (the entire territories of New Jersey Pennsylvania Vermont New Hampshire Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode Island and Maine - and the movement of the Nations Capital from DC to New York City)
and if and when we do demand whats ours your better hope we are satisfied and decide to stop there rather then taking the entire Country

the rest of you can barely even be considered states
you are already vassals to New York and you had best learn your place before we are forced to show it to you
