Perl has the State of the Onion(*). How about "Red State" ;)

(*) On the subject of choosing names, Larry Wall sez:

Some of you have heard the part about my looking for a good name for
Perl, and scanning through /usr/dict/words for every three- and
four-letter word with positive connotations. Though offhand, I can't
explain how I missed seeing Ruby. So anyway, I ended up with "Pearl"
instead. (http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/09/22/onion.html?page=3)
