Is it Illinois's or Illinois'?

To form possessive on words ending with a silent 's', The Chicago Manual of Style recommends the apostrophe s, but also allows for just apostrophe. So under this style rule, you could use either one: Illinois' or Illinois's. The AP Manual of Style calls for just an apostrophe, Illinois'. Interestingly, in March 2007, the the Arkansas State Legislature created a non-binding resolution stating that the possessive of Arkansas should be apostrophe-s. Also of interest, most newspapers use only the apostrophe to make possessives of silent 's' words. See Related link.
