Now Showing in 3-D

Q:

This challange requires you to use only the letters of the alphabet that can be rotated 180 degrees on the x, y or z axis without changing.  For example, you can rotate E toward you from top to bottom (x-axis), flip A from left to right (y-axis) and spin X around 180 degrees (z-axis).  X actually works on all 3 axes. 

I used the Arial font which is common in most word processors.  You can use upper or lower case letters and repeat them as needed.

And now the challenge:  Name the only state with its respective  capital city that can be spelled with this new alphabet.





Ladies and gentlemen

Sadly, there are errors and ambiguities in this puzzle as stated, soooooo...

Let's change the font to Times New Roman and create a new alphabet using the same rules.

The challenge:  What is the smallest Roman numeral number you can make? You must use each appropriate letter at least once.
