I know that there's an Illinois tribe. But most people know Illinois as a state.

lol. I am amused by the Mauryans as barbarians. The Mauryans were the most cultured during their times. The Mauryan period is referred to as the golden age of India.

I find it amusing that anyone not from the Barbary Coast are considered barbarians.
