    Just to throw a monkey wrench in the grammar, apparently the state of Arkansas' legislature has passed a bill declaring that the correct posessive of Arkansas is Arkansas's.

    You use just an apostrophe. In words that end in an 's', you should only put an apostrophe, and no other letters after it

    I would write "Chris' car". But when speaking I'd put that extra "s" in.
