It was bothering me even as I typed it. I initially put the apostrophe s on it and that didn't look right, so I went with the standard rule of no s if there's already an s. But I'm not sure that looks right either. Maybe nobody has ever used the possessive form of Arkansas, so it's never been finalized.

Apparently Arkansas passed a bill declaring it to be Arkansas's

Yeah, but it's Arkansas doing that. That may mean that the proper form is no s.

(I lived in Arkansas for a while as a kid, so I'm allowed to say that.)

I think you should just use Ourkansas.
