  It is video related, so plasma could be valid as well

As a European, I'm confused and would love to know more about this specific area.

  As an American, I’m equally confused. I will say that based on my experience, the tristate areas I often see referred to are around New York and Philadelphia. New York: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Philadelphia: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware.

    And if you're from a little-further-south it is (naturally) Washington DC's version of the same thing (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia)

      I guess that’s true if you’re west of DC. Otherwise it’s Delmarva (DELaware, MARyland, VirginiA).

        I’ve only heard that called “the DMV,” but I’m not from there.

    Tristate is used in things like radio where you are covering 3 states. "Here is the news/weather in the tristate area". They mean specifically the 3 states that the radio signal reaches, which is clear to everyone. Since they reach 3 states there is no other name that can be used for their coverage area. The people in question regularly cross state lines. It isn't a useful concept to bring up when you are not physically in a tri-state area.

  Much like residents of the bay area [0], I'm playfully suggesting there's only one tri-state area of significance [1].

Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana? Oh, you must be talking about the tri-state area with the Tri-State Airport: Kentucy, Ohio, West Virginia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-State_Airport https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-State_Airport

Everyone being pedantic would change their tune instantly if it were an even money family-feud style bet for the top answer.
