Locally 0.3 is referred to as The NYC TriState Area
I only ever hear this phrase in an American context. Are your states more likely to meet with 3 at a point or something? I never hear "quadstate" or "bistate" area?
It's a mathematical property of regions of a 2D space that 3 will naturally meet at a point, but 4 or higher have to be contrived to meet at a point. In the US we do have the 4 corners, which is where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, so there is precedent.
