The vertices of this graph are the 48 continental US states plus the District of Columbia; regions that share a common border are adjacent. The fractional chromatic number of this graph is 3.5 and this figure provides a 7:2-coloring. [Thanks to Stan Wagon who prepared this diagram using Mathematica.]
