Map of the US if 50 states were formed by equal population and split by parallel longitude.

We need some state names for these. A few -stans would be appropriate as well.
What does equal population mean and what does the different widths indicate?
Are the widths just the original area? Because why then introduce the "equal population" information?
I'm sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but I really don't get it.
"Equal population" means each stripe has the same number of residents in it. Wider areas with the same total number of people indicate a lower population density. Closely spaced lines show there are a high population density.
