As far as the most western state, note how Alaska's Aleutian Islands stretch right up to the edge of the Western Hemisphere at the 180º line of Longitude, thus the most western state in the country.
Alaska is also the answer for eastern, as the Aleutian Islands stretch across the 180º line of Longitude, into the Eastern Hemisphere, and up the edge of the Russian Federation.

Alaska is west, how does that make it the most easterly state?

I bet that if you show that to the majority of Americans THEY'LL think that is the real map!
tbh it wouldnt surprise me. in geography class we had to take a quiz and match about 15 countries with their location on the map. The countries were those like the us, china, japan, uk, germany, sweden, canada, mexico, iraq, etc=NHB=Shadow wrote:

This one's pretty obvious if you look at a map. So don't.
If you go directly south from Iceland, what's the first landmass you reach?
