A New Homanagranalonym

One step crazier than the Anagranalogy.  You must take the four unrelated words or phrases presented in standard analogy form, rearrange the letters in each word to come up with a new common word and then find a homonym (or homophone) for each word to complete an accurate analogy.  For example:

Nan : Own : : Tea : Law                      Unrelated words, standard analogy form
Ann : Won : : Ate : Awl                        Anagrammed to common words
An : One : : Eight : All                          Homonyms
                                                          
An and One refer to the singular
Eight and All refer to the plural

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.
