Very neat!
I tried to drag left to get to Asia / Oceania, and got stuck on the International Date Line. Would be neater if it wrapped around, and didn't put Samoa and Australia on the opposite ends of the Earth. :)

This is really cool. I took a couple guesses as to which team had the most states represented (Colorado, Notre Dame, USC, K State) but it was too close to call.
So easy to use. Bravo.
