Question

postal code question! A surprisingly high number of US state names contain multiple pairs of adjacent letters that are standard two-letter state postal codes. For example, INDIANA contains IN (Indiana), ND (North Dakota), and IA (Iowa). The rules for this puzzle do not allow an individual letter to be used more than once, which means the first N could be used in IN or ND, but not both; so INDIANA would count as having two pairs. Again, without allowing duplications, can you think of the US state name that contains four pairs of US postal state abbreviations?
