The Only Remaining State . . .

For each box, enter the only state that fits the description excluding states that have already appeared on the quiz.

For example, if the clue was "The only state to be mentioned in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Dani California,'" and North Dakota, Minnesota, Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana, and Alabama had already appeared earlier on the quiz, the answer would be "California."

Unless otherwise specified, any reference to city population refers to urban agglomeration population according to citypopulation.de

It seems to me that there's a good chance that Michigan's population exceeds 10 million as of now (Jan 2019), since it allegedly was less than 5000 people short in July 2018 and allegedly gained over 75,000 people from July 2017 to July 2018.

Very likely, yes. I was going to say I'd wait for the numbers to be updated in Wikipedia before worrying about it, but it was an easy fix, so I went ahead and made it now.
