Colorado has 697 sides.
First intend to be a perfect rectangle, people back in the 1850s did a good job making it very close to be a rectangle but the tools back then were not precise enough.
All you have top do is go on google map and follow the bottom border of Colorado to see where the mistakes were made.

Anything is a rectangle if you're brave enough.

They might as well made a perfect circle using that many lines for the thrill of the challenge.
