Minnesota.
I had no interest in fighting it though, I wasn't even angry about it, it was just unexpected.
I had agreed to it. I had read my contract, I had understood it when I read it, I had signed it. Even if I could weasel my way out of it, that would feel immoral to me. You're not being bullied for being asked to do something you already agreed to.
Beyond that, I didn't have any interest in burning bridges on my way out. I'm still friends with many of these people to this day.
