Hawaii is a relatively small population in an area which is not like anywhere else in the US, geographically or culturally, and has relatively small political clout. Not to mention hawaii has a different history of joining the US and an entirely different manner in which its value were developed not related to the other 48 states. While it would have been nice to include, Hawaii isnt really part of this conversation.

Yes. I'm just pointing out the motive of the GP's post.

How is Central Texas part of Appalachia?!

Greater Appalachia: Extending from West Virginia through the Great Smoky Mountains and into Northwest Texas, the descendants of Irish, English and Scottish settlers value individual liberty. Residents are “intensely suspicious of lowland aristocrats and Yankee social engineers.”
Seems to describe the Waco area pretty well no? The only exception being Austin.

I read the book it's pretty good, but man did the Irish Scots fuck American culture up.

That thing on FL is wrong, the Bible Belters are only up in the panhandle. Central FL is more like Tidewater.

Proud to be moving to the Left Coast after years of watching the NJ area freefall into greater degrees of Texas- or Florida-like mafia politics.

This is just a slightly updated version of The 9 Nations of North America from 1981 by Joel Garreau. Nothing original or earth shattering.

#### The Nine Nations of North America:
The Nine Nations of North America is a book written in 1981 by Joel Garreau. In it, Garreau suggests that North America can be divided into nine nations, which have distinctive economic and cultural features. He also argues that conventional national and state borders are largely artificial and irrelevant, and that his "nations" provide a more accurate way of understanding the true nature of North American society. Paul Meartz of Mayville State University called it "a classic text on the current regionalization of North America". The Nations reflected here are included in a Michael F. Flynn short fictional story, in which all the Nine Nations have gained independence.

I was just thinking that, then I realized that the key difference is Woodard doesn't recognize the Rust Belt as a distinct entity the way Garreau does. Not only has it outlived its economic usefulness but everything that made it culturally distinct has dissipated too. That's sort of earth shattering.

Tidewater! Although I prefer calling it the Capitol

I don't believe I've ever seen this much gerrymandering on a fictional map before.

I grew up in central Indiana and I've always maintained that anything south of Indianapolis is basically Appalachia, only in the north. I say this as someone who has also lived in ky and nc.
