I think its somewere in washington state, because in the episode when edna gets the teacher of the year award and theres a sign that says 2,653 miles to orlando. the only state that is that far from orlando is washington
that is way wrong dude. if you watch the simpsons movie, Ned Flanders says that Ohio, Maine, Nevada, and Kentucky border their state. if they border their state, that has to be the size of half the country.
Yes, but that's because Vermont (borders Maine), Pennsylvania (borders Ohio), California (borders Nevada), and Illinois (borders Kentucky), have been some of the longest running guesses as to the true location.
And so it was more a joke. They were basically telling us, but in all reality, they were only telling us what we already knew.
My vote goes to Illinois because Springfield, IL has smoke stacks (like Mr. Burns power plant) looming over the city.
But the more I look at clues and such- I think the Simpson's "Springfield" is a combination of Springfields, as the scenery changes often... leading you different directions.
The joke is probably that everyone is trying to figure out which Springfield this cartoon depicts them living in, when in reality, it's not any particular Springfield. It's just Springfield.

Yes, apparently if you look for the clues, you can figure it out. I know they allow the death penalty wherever it is that they are from...

Well, I'm pretty sure they were just doing that to be funny.

But you must consider the episode in which Homer visits cheers which would lead you to believe massachusetts or the east coast in general.
