# State/capital verification
|
|
|
|
`states.tsv` is the canonical 50-row alphabetical dataset. Postal code, full
|
|
state name, and capital travel together into `src/states.c`. Geography span
|
|
index N is always TSV row N; no second alphabetical ordering is introduced.
|
|
Alaska = Juneau; Hawaii = Honolulu. DC and territories are excluded.
|
|
|
|
Checked 2026-11-09 against both full lists:

|
Minnesota is displayed as **Saint Paul**. Normalization also accepts **St. Paul**
|
|
and **St Paul**, in any case and with repeated or surrounding whitespace.
|
|
|
|
`map-seeds.json` documents source SVG interior coordinates, replacing outside
|
|
callout-label positions for small Northeast states. The conversion asserts
|
|
that each seed is land and is in a distinct connected state region. Detached
|
|
land is assigned to its nearest identified region, with explicit geographic rules for the
|
|
Alaska/Hawaii inset islands and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Geometry is a simplified educational
|
|
map, not a survey or political boundary authority.
|
|
|
|
`map-manifest.json` records source region sizes, per-view dimensions, source
|
|
crop bounds and per-state pixel coverage. `tests/check_assets.py` checks all
|
|
50 identity slots, disjoint span coverage, bounds, and small-state/inset
|
|
presence. `tools/prepare_assets.py` reproduces all generated C and previews
|
|
using only Python's standard library; no SVG is parsed by the CoCo program.
