Cut the state right in half.

Round 1 by area, round 2 by people, round 3 by a wildcard theme revealed after the cut: split it in half, or sort two layers apart (forests on one side, farmland on the other). Score: 100 − 4 × the gap to 50%, or to the best split or sort one straight line can do. A perfect cut within 0.5 pt.

The 50 states take turns, one a day, the same for everyone. Washington, D.C. and the territories are not in the draw. A new state arrives at 01:00, Paris time.
