Or supply another state's name or 2-letter code:

./ascii-state Massachusetts
./ascii-state NY

The first time this runs it'll download US state boundaries from the Census.

Zoom Level

If you want it bigger, try tacking on a higher zoom level (the default is 10):

./ascii-state CA 11
./ascii-state TX 9
