Yangtze Dragon jigsaw puzzle

My niece in Illinois sent me a funny article.  Her governor made a tongue-in-cheek announcement that  Illinois was a great state so it should have a Great Lake named after it.  He was proclaiming that Lake Michigan's name is now Lake Illinois and he'd let Google Maps know of the change. To make his point he put up a picture of the lake w/ the word 'Michigan' crossed out w/ a sharpie and the word 'Illinois' written in below it.  At the same time Illinois, for the state's protection from "both foreign and domestic enemies," was annexing the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin.   It was all pretty funny.  I'm surprised he didn't add that because Illinois planned to rebuild Green Bay into the 'Miami of the North', the inhabitants would have to live elsewhere ... like Minnesota or Indiana.   Also Illinois was very concerned that Ohio was exerting undue influence over the vital waterway of the Straits of Mackinac.   All I can say to Illinois is "Be Best".
