聯邦州

联 = 关 + 耳 : Li Qingzhao (li) invented a machine able to combine (联) her hair into braids, and she is trying it out for the first time in the anthill's kitchen (an2). Just as the machine starts Li Qingzhao realizes it is going to combine both of her ears (耳) into one braid she quickly hits the machine's off button (关).

邦 = 丰 + 阝 : Beelzebub organized a cage battle in front of the anglepod. In a huge luxurious golden cage, the imperator and Liu Bang (刘邦) are fighting for the control over the country, which Beelzebub will grant to the winner—at least he said he will.

州 = 丶 + 丷 + 川 : Mnemonic symbol: the red cotton tree, as it is the official flower of 广州 (Guangzhou). A new river (川) formed spontaneously in front of the outhouse (ou1), and James II of England (zh) was barely able to climb on a red cotton tree (州). Other animals are happy about this development: a mean crocodile (丷) is floating on a petal leaf (丶) towards the red cotton tree.
