Hey, just one minute! Rhode Island is a state, not a county, though it may be considered-poorly, I might add-a "county equivalent." It's small, for sure, but it is a State. It has five whole counties, actually. And, among the 50 states, it has the longest name (The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations), the most shoreline per area of any state in the Union, along with having one of the most densely populated cities in the country (The City of Central Falls, home to many drug users and dealers; hey, it's "big industry" there. Of course, that may be why it's also home to the Wyatt Federal Detention Center, but I digress).
