Federal Noxious Weeds State
This project is a hand made hybrid flag of a pirate invasive species state. Based on a Jason file of invasive species (plants) database of the URSD (United States Department of Agriculture) website, I collected which species were the most common and in which state’s they were. (I cleaned the list to use only the ones that had mapping information)
From this collection I took the flags of the most "affected" states to create a new one that combines them and "generates" a new state.
