It just occurred to me that there are no states named East Statename.
That's because the expansion of the US across the continent was westward.
I know. It just seemed funny that the other three directions are represented.
If/when Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state, it should take the name East Puerto Rico, just to be fair.
