This is actually an interesting idea.  It's also ironic that you used the
same comparison as we did when rebutting ChapCom, how Philly is less like
Pittsburgh and more like Delaware and New York both.

A couple of comments here. It seems to me that Philadelphia has more in  
common with Trenton than it does with Pittsburgh. Newark, on the other hand,
or  
Elizabeth, or wherever in northern NJ, has more in common with NYC. Chicago
and 
 Gary would make more sense than Chicago and Aurora. Etc. In a state driven

world, will DC, Potomac, and Alexandria be three separate chapters
(Washington 
 DC, Maryland, and Virginia respectively)? It would only be cool because you

could get to three different chapters using the same subway.
 
It seems to me that the US should consider metropolitan hubs as the basis
of 
chapters. For an example of this, see how Craig's List operates.
