What would an honest-to-goodness North American expression of Orthodoxy look like?

I was talking with some friends and we were wondering if the division of dioceses would be better set up with a bishop in the capital of each state. Then all the bishops could line up according to seniority and be assigned to the diocese according to their talents and experience. And the Archdiocesan ministries could be sorted regionally and would share programs and resources.

Ehh, don\'t think so. I\'m pretty sure that North Dakota has zero, one or two Greek parishes. And there can\'t be that many other jurisdictional parishes, either... so, let\'s say 5 Orthodox parishes in ND...And what about in PA? there are 52 parishes in the tri-state area under the Greek metropolis. Let\'s just take out the OH and WV ones, and say maybe 50 or so in the Pittsburgh area, at least 50 in the Phili area, and some in the middle of the state, Bethlehem, Reading, Erie, etc...I don\'t think that\'s a good idea, sorry...
