Well, at least "the cornhusker state" fits Nebraska. You're famous for

Here in Maine, the nickname is "Vacationland." The only people who
vacation in Maine are either 65+ or from Massachusetts, or both.
There's a joke about asking for directions, and a Mainer will tell you,
"Cahn't get theah from heah" (or "Can't get there from here" for those
who don't know the accent) When really the joke should be, "Why would
you want to?
