You did forget two biggest capitals: Wilmington, Delaware - the home
of the credit card industry and banking (to some degree) and Hartford,
Connecticut - the home of the US insurance industry. While there are
exclusions from the rules, companies in these and many other
industries tend to concentrate in the states with most favorable legal
climates. There must be something in Arizona that makes processing
promotions cheaper (maybe cheap manual labor?).
