Summary
Uri is correct, but it's close and depends on what the meaning of is is.
Springfield wins 31+2 to 26+4 instances in the US,
but Arlington appears in more states 29 to 26.
The plus two and four are for named villages within an incorporated
larger city, and double counts Arlington in Arlington
but IIRC the standard ivory tower regular expressions have grouping,
alternation, and closure, or in re terms, () | and *. Much of perl's
re forms can be created from those (e.g. x+ is the same as xx*).
