Maybe I'm reaching with "Rhode islander" but that's what I've always been told by people outside of the state.

Right

This has always been considered a CityState

So I guess we're just all Rhode Islanders

It used to be "Providencian and Rhode Island Plantationeer." But I think we recently voted to drop the second part cuz it took too long to say.

This state is small. We're all Rhode Islanders. There are no Cranstonians or Pawtucketucks, or Woonsockites.
