hahahaha. no one outside of the u.s even knows rhode island is a state even though family guy takes place in ri.
but you are thinking of long island, ny, which is below rhode island.
rhode island is one of the six states in new england and is the
smallest state (by area) in the country. the city of anchorage, alaska
has a larger area than rhode island. ri has the second highest
population density in the u.s behind jersey. oh, and rhode island isn't an island.
