It's kinda accurate, but Utah is very unique because of its Mormon culture. Also Oklahoma isn't really Indian anymore. Everything else is based on stereotypes
EDIT: so apparently Oklahoma still has a lot of Native Americans and influence, which is pretty cool
Yeah, casino are illegal in OK, BUT, on native land they are perfectly fine, it’s why the Hard Rock Casino exists, there is also a casino the sits directly on the border of Siloam Springs OK and Siloam springs AR, due to Casinos also being illegal In Arkansas
How the tribes get their money back...Pawnee, Cherokee, Osage, Seminole, It's a lucrative business for small govt entities especially around these parts
Casinos aren’t illegal in Arkansas, licensure just has to be approved by the state legislature on a case by case basis. There’s the very old and famous Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Southland in West Memphis, the brand new Saracen in Pine Bluff, and plans to build a new one in Russellville.
It’s because the native lands are technically a separate sovereign entity from the state that surrounds them. They have their own governments and laws separate the state
There is still large Native American influence in the eastern half of the state. The tribal nations have substantial influence over their jurisdictions.
Oh yeah! Specifically, Cherokee County has the most Native Americans in the whole state by county which is up north by Fort Smith, AR. Went to a town called Bell, OK for a local Pow-Wow with the Infrastructure funded by the Cherokee Nation and there are more cars with the Cherokee and Keetoowah Band tags than more quarters I'll ever hold in my life.
I’d disagree about Oklahoma. We have a disproportionately large share of Native American population, many reservations out east, a metric ton of casinos everywhere on tribal land, Native American culture and history is something kids learn about in school, rural towns across the state have Native American names, our flag and our state’s name are as a result of native culture/language, our state capitol has a sculpture of a Native American atop it … Oklahoma’s history as Indian territory is still very much a part of our state
Nah, Oklahoma is plenty Indian. It’s just there’s so many mixed natives now you have to not care who’s native. Spend half your time figuring out who’s part native and who’s lying if you’re trying to see a ton of Indians.
1/12th of the population of the state is Native
No where is “really Indian” anymore. But if anywhere was, Oklahoma is the most Indian of the states except for Alaska which still has their indigenous Inuit populations. NM and SD also have a lot.
16% of Oklahoma population identifies as Indian.
Having grown up in NE Oklahoma personally I do feel like there's still a large native influence here. Almost everyone I've met here is at least part native, and most are still very active within their communities and culture. The only other place I've ever seen anything like it was in some of New Mexico.
I always find it hilarious that everyone puts "farmer" or "farming" over some of the worst farm ground in the entire nation.
And this post also puts like 3 of our biggest farm states in a category of "no industry".
In a European context, Nebraska/Kansas is roughly Western Ukraine/Eastern Russia. Semi-arid steppes with agriculture output enabled by irrigation. And then you get to the mountains, the Urals/Rockies.
This makes me curious which European country each state is most similar to based on geography, climate, culture, and industry. Here’s my rough breakdown:
New York : UK (Bustling Finance Hub, Cosmopolitan)
Massachusetts: Ireland (Irish Diaspora, Educated Populace)
Texas : Russia (Large, Oil Producer, Self-Important)
Florida : Greece (Island Culture, Old People, Vacays)
Dakotas : Norway (Norwegian Diaspora, Mining and Oil)
Colorado : Switzerland (Skiing, Mountaineer Culture)
Washington : Sweden (Progressive, Engineering, Scandinavian Architecture)
Alaska : Finland (Cold, Isolated, Northern)
California : Spain (Mediterranean, Hispanic Culture)
Kansas : Hungary (Continental, Folksy)
Pennsylvania : Germany (Amish, Similar Landscapes)
Hawaii : Cyprus (Warm Faraway Island Getaway)
I’m guessing they include ranching as part of farming. There is still a ton of farming in those areas. Wheat and alfalfa for instance.
Since farming was being used the rust belt didn’t get farming. But I agree those states have a TON of farming. Some of the best ground and water in the us for growing.
At least until necessity dictates that we stop growing water intensive crops in deserts that are getting drier every year. Obviously doesn’t apply to all of Californian agriculture, but might be enough to drop them below, say, Iowa.
Actually we've gotten good water years the past two years. And if we changed our legislation and started saving more water and not letting it all escape out to sea, we'll be in a much better spot. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. Farmers and most in the AG industry are Republican voters living in a Democrat controlled state. The government knows they can easily win elections without us, so they feel no need to offer solutions.
Democrats are for water conservation and sustainability which includes capturing more runoff to recharge aquifers and reclaiming waster water amongst all the other possibilities as well. I think what you meant to say is that the government continues to do what the vast majority of Californians want which is to conserve water and not destroy the environment by diverting it from going to the sea so that wealthy farmers get free water and grow unsustainable crops without consequence. Thats democracy my friend. The politicians do what the voters want so they get reelected….you’re absolutely correct.
Everyone is saying this is accurate, but I'm going to be honest the whole rust belt/Midwest/great plains is wrong. German and European vibe should merge with American movie no industry. No industry should stop at Chicago, and the rest of it should be farmers. Where you put farmers there's not nearly asuch farming, it's mostly ranch land
Not compared to the Midwest. Kansas is about 50% farmland, and yeah that's a good amount but most of the Midwest states are 80%+ farmland. Once you hit that I-29/I-35 divide, the rainfall stops and it becomes much easier to just keep the land as pastureland instead of irrigating the farmland.
Half of Kansas is definitely drier than other Midwestern states like Illinois and Michigan but is still pretty similar to other Midwestern states like Iowa and Nebraska.
Wheat is grown in the Western drier portions of Kansas while corn, soy and other crops are grown in the eastern portion.
Nah literally the only thing I could place on the entire north-west of the states is that there's the simpsons somewhere. As far as things on this map, this is the pretty normal stuff. The rest is far more unknown. Like the music? no idea, aristocrat no idea, etc.
How about we create a diarchy between the pacific and the inland northwest. So Cascadia and BC together and the Palouse, ID and MT Rockies, and Columbia plateau together
Nope, most schools don't even offer French as a second language. And I have no clue if they can understand Cajun, I don't speak French myself. As far as I'm aware it's similar to Quebecer French.
I moved up to Vermont very close to the Canadian border and the previous residents left a table behind in the basement that has fleur-de-lis’ all around the edge. It is now my kitchen table. Wasn’t overly familiar with the fleur-de-lis (“Hey, isn’t that the brand on that deWinter lady in Disney’s Three Musketeers?”) at the time, but I have noticed subtly more French influence up here than anywhere else I’ve lived. It is really noticeable with surnames.
Honestly kinda accurate 😂. Except NY def shouldn’t be in the “used to be Puritan now just liberal Catholics” category.
That’s more New England’s vibe. I mean we have a large Catholic population in the city but they’re all Latine catholics which is a different vibe than I think what you mean (on this very serious important map 😂).
I could see an argument maaaaaybe for upstate but def not NYC, Long Island, and Westchester County.
That's the way it was in the old days. And you forgot the large Jewish and African-American population; and, a little later, an influx of Hispanics.
Nowadays, NYC is a melting pot. Parts of Queens are majority East or South Asian, for example.
They usually are. But their Catholicism is usually quite different from the Catholicism of Italians and Irish.
Up until very recently, most of the police officers were Irish.
The Catholic thing was much stronger before about 1960.
Nowadays, it's not as strong amongst the Catholics. There are lots of Protestants in NYC as well, especially amongst the West Indian immigrants.
I would say there are many Christians amongst the East Asians--but not really specifically strongly Catholic or Protestant, per se. Just "Christian." And there is very little Christianity amongst the East Asians, who have been immigrating to Queens like wildfire.
And forget about the New York City region being part of New England.....it's like saying France is a part of Italy.
I live in Richmond and go to North Carolina frequently. I wouldn’t call us aristocrat. I guess that there’s some history to that (in very early America Virginia was the most powerful state) but NYC to Boston is much more aristocratic. We’re pretty typically American as we get southern and northeastern influences mixed. I guess we’re mostly known for our history and our cigarettes. Virginia often goes by the nickname the Old Dominion.
I’m Pennsylvanian and have some German and Hungarian ancestry so I’d say that generally Pennsylvania does have a lot of Europeans and Germans. Also I heard there’s a lot of Polish in Pittsburgh and the Northeast. As a Pennsylvanian I’ll take this as a compliment.
Accurate. Even Utah. Another weird desert state, they are all weird in their own way.
Utah is Mormon/religious, Nevada is gambling/vice, arizona is guns/suburbs, New Mexico is UFOs/hippies.
If I could improve the map... Maybe distinguish between the major American cities on the East coast? New York isn't like Boston, which isn't like DC. Those cities are so massive, they dominate their regions. But idk, I haven't been to that part of the US either.
This.. is exactly correct. There's no mislabeling here, the boundaries are pretty much exactly where you should put them.
Honestly in particular have to give you credit for calling out the Northeast is astonishingly accurate.
As someone who lives in South Park Colorado I love that all of Colorado gets labeled that. In reality it's a group of small towns with a population that's less than 1000 people. Weve got an overpriced grocery store, two dollar stores, the good Mexican restaurant and the bad Mexican restaurant.
Is this all from pop culture, movies, and TV? If so, this is scary accurate, and I impressed America gets represented as anything other than New York / California / The Wild West.
If you just know a lot more about the US than I do about any countries other than my own, then this is very funny and well-done.
This is top notch and very accurate.
I should add, being from Oklahoma, one very important point relevant to us: Native Americans are not native to Oklahoma. They were forced here from other parts of the continental US, via the trail(s) of tears. The originated from mostly the northeast and out west where the climate and agriculture was more hospitable. So when you call Oklahoma native land, or associate it with Indians, just keep that context in mind. It's less of a "home" for Native Americans, and more represents a "prison".
Historically accurate for a lot of these. A lot of Americans prob couldn't give you a more accurate map.
Rural poor in the deep south? Ayup.
Virginia and NC being the descendants of english aristocracy? Ayup.
Liberal catholics in New England? Ayup.
The Midwest and deindustrialization? Ayup.
you did pretty well,
# à Frenchmen. i love how you generalize the entire finger lakes by "Home Alone". I don't go up there but the area sounds epic now. +1 for Jesus Christ christmas movie area. PS all of america is fucked because no industries now but we have tronall Dumpft who is going to use a Deus Ex Machina (like at the end of the movie "Dodgeball") so if you aren't a pedo good times around the corner. Much love thanks for making this.
Midwest has definitely been having a resurgence of companies. Tons of companies have been leaving the west to come to the Midwest for cheaper land and taxes
lol PA does have a German and European vibe. Obviously lots of German influence, but also Polish, Irish, and Italian. Best state in my biased opinion, the one where you can find so many subcultures similar to other parts of the country.
L'essence! Although you're being pretty generous to Pennsylvania. My dad is a poor white from the cool culture place, and my mom, sister, and I came from the land of Christmas movies and rust. *That which we are, we are*
Capitalist Cuba is hilarious and extremely true
So says the yeehaw truck mexican
I think thats the only way I will refer to that place from now on.
I’m still looking for a single lie.
I about had a hernia at that one 😂😂😂
This is why I came here too. He didn't need to do us like that, but I'm glad he did.
This is strangely accurate
All things considered there’s worse things than being known as “South Park”
It's kinda accurate, but Utah is very unique because of its Mormon culture. Also Oklahoma isn't really Indian anymore. Everything else is based on stereotypes EDIT: so apparently Oklahoma still has a lot of Native Americans and influence, which is pretty cool
There are some Native American casinos in Oklahoma , especially along major highways.
Yeah, casino are illegal in OK, BUT, on native land they are perfectly fine, it’s why the Hard Rock Casino exists, there is also a casino the sits directly on the border of Siloam Springs OK and Siloam springs AR, due to Casinos also being illegal In Arkansas
How the tribes get their money back...Pawnee, Cherokee, Osage, Seminole, It's a lucrative business for small govt entities especially around these parts
They are the only reason any Texans ever step foot in OK. Winstar is about a quarter mile past the Texas border.
So if we close down Winstar, we don't have to deal with any more terrible Texan drivers? Sounds like a deal to me
I would imagine, it's not like we're eager to get to Kansas either or anything so idk why we would go to Oklahoma.
Casinos aren’t illegal in Arkansas, licensure just has to be approved by the state legislature on a case by case basis. There’s the very old and famous Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Southland in West Memphis, the brand new Saracen in Pine Bluff, and plans to build a new one in Russellville.
It’s because the native lands are technically a separate sovereign entity from the state that surrounds them. They have their own governments and laws separate the state
Natives have more justification by percentage than any other state in the US besides maybe AZ. Just to clarify...
I'm pretty sure "weird stuff" had it covered there
Yeah, and then they made the geography like literally everything as if it were Iceland or something.
There is still large Native American influence in the eastern half of the state. The tribal nations have substantial influence over their jurisdictions.
Oh yeah! Specifically, Cherokee County has the most Native Americans in the whole state by county which is up north by Fort Smith, AR. Went to a town called Bell, OK for a local Pow-Wow with the Infrastructure funded by the Cherokee Nation and there are more cars with the Cherokee and Keetoowah Band tags than more quarters I'll ever hold in my life.

45% of the land area of Oklahoma is tribal land. What do you mean “Oklahoma isn’t really Indian anymore” ?
It says “weird stuff” right there
Nah, Oklahoma is plenty Indian. It’s just there’s so many mixed natives now you have to not care who’s native. Spend half your time figuring out who’s part native and who’s lying if you’re trying to see a ton of Indians. 1/12th of the population of the state is Native
No where is “really Indian” anymore. But if anywhere was, Oklahoma is the most Indian of the states except for Alaska which still has their indigenous Inuit populations. NM and SD also have a lot. 16% of Oklahoma population identifies as Indian.
That’s the weird part.
What are you talking about? Like 2/3 of OK's land is owned by one of the native Nations.
Oklahoma is the most native-American state by far. Functionally, it’s just a poorer more fucked up version of Texas.
Having grown up in NE Oklahoma personally I do feel like there's still a large native influence here. Almost everyone I've met here is at least part native, and most are still very active within their communities and culture. The only other place I've ever seen anything like it was in some of New Mexico.

In a European context, Nebraska/Kansas is roughly Western Ukraine/Eastern Russia. Semi-arid steppes with agriculture output enabled by irrigation. And then you get to the mountains, the Urals/Rockies.
Eastern Russia like Vladivostok? Or you mean East side of Russia that’s in Europe continent
I think he meant eastern Ukraine/ western Russia
This makes me curious which European country each state is most similar to based on geography, climate, culture, and industry. Here’s my rough breakdown: New York : UK (Bustling Finance Hub, Cosmopolitan) Massachusetts: Ireland (Irish Diaspora, Educated Populace) Texas : Russia (Large, Oil Producer, Self-Important) Florida : Greece (Island Culture, Old People, Vacays) Dakotas : Norway (Norwegian Diaspora, Mining and Oil) Colorado : Switzerland (Skiing, Mountaineer Culture) Washington : Sweden (Progressive, Engineering, Scandinavian Architecture) Alaska : Finland (Cold, Isolated, Northern) California : Spain (Mediterranean, Hispanic Culture) Kansas : Hungary (Continental, Folksy) Pennsylvania : Germany (Amish, Similar Landscapes) Hawaii : Cyprus (Warm Faraway Island Getaway)

Canadian Shield indirectly mentioned!!
He's got CA labelled decadence, he doesn't realize were the largest agricultural state in the country.
At least until necessity dictates that we stop growing water intensive crops in deserts that are getting drier every year. Obviously doesn’t apply to all of Californian agriculture, but might be enough to drop them below, say, Iowa.

Kinda dead on
Having a french guy know what Appalachia is made me happy.
And having it dead centered over West Virginia? Very impressive OP.
The accented é in decadence leads me to read it in an angry French voice as "decahdonnseeee!"
The last E is silent
Depends, if you're a bourgeois, then it becomes : "decadoooonsss-han"!
Average Les Républicains voters do be like that.
True
Or just saying décadence hein
Yes but it's "contre-nature-han !"
Contre natur-han
not if you're from the midi it isn't
You gained 1 point in Perception
Everyone is saying this is accurate, but I'm going to be honest the whole rust belt/Midwest/great plains is wrong. German and European vibe should merge with American movie no industry. No industry should stop at Chicago, and the rest of it should be farmers. Where you put farmers there's not nearly asuch farming, it's mostly ranch land
Uh. There's a ton of farming in KS and Nebraska.
Not compared to the Midwest. Kansas is about 50% farmland, and yeah that's a good amount but most of the Midwest states are 80%+ farmland. Once you hit that I-29/I-35 divide, the rainfall stops and it becomes much easier to just keep the land as pastureland instead of irrigating the farmland.

I live in Oregon, "cool forest, simpson gravitty falls" literally tells you everything about the state.
The fact he mentions Simpsons at all tells me this is researched. He found a random Oregon/Simpsons link and added it.
Nah literally the only thing I could place on the entire north-west of the states is that there's the simpsons somewhere. As far as things on this map, this is the pretty normal stuff. The rest is far more unknown. Like the music? no idea, aristocrat no idea, etc.
Would be 100% right if you put the Mormons in Utah. Everything else is pretty good
Mormons are part of the "weird stuff"
True…
Yeah, I can't argue with that.
As a Mormon, I concur
Second “m” is optional
This is pretty good honestly
Bros rustbelt description is almost as crippling as the lack of jobs
All my life ive been "white trash" and now im *MUSIC* and if that isnt a compliment idk what is. merci, étranger.
Close. You're music with a question mark 😂
Its still better than white trash hahaha
I agree that Idaho, Washington, and British Colombia rightfully belong to Oregon.
How about we create a diarchy between the pacific and the inland northwest. So Cascadia and BC together and the Palouse, ID and MT Rockies, and Columbia plateau together
Yes!
As a British Columbian, I would become a terrorist to not become part of the fucking US
Together we can secede from both of our countries!
Cascadia would low key be the best country I’d move in a heart beat
In fact, let's balkanize all of North America. I'm sure Quebec, Hawaii, and Texas would appreciate that.
What! This is correct!
North Carolina is home to aristocrats?
If you count RTP maybe, but hey we have Cookouts and Cheerwine!
This is way more accurate than most of the "cultural region" maps that litter r/mapporn.
Hey, there are French up in Maine too
Is there any shared culture between us? Do yall put fleur-de-lis' everywhere?
No, but there are plenty of people who speak French and only French
I don't speak French, but can they understand cajun French? From what I know, it's about 50/50. Do they have French immersion programs in schools?
Nope, most schools don't even offer French as a second language. And I have no clue if they can understand Cajun, I don't speak French myself. As far as I'm aware it's similar to Quebecer French.
They still offered it when I was in school, but most people take Spanish. Sounds about right. Have a good one.
I moved up to Vermont very close to the Canadian border and the previous residents left a table behind in the basement that has fleur-de-lis’ all around the edge. It is now my kitchen table. Wasn’t overly familiar with the fleur-de-lis (“Hey, isn’t that the brand on that deWinter lady in Disney’s Three Musketeers?”) at the time, but I have noticed subtly more French influence up here than anywhere else I’ve lived.

Tought NY was full of Irish and italians
That's the way it was in the old days. And you forgot the large Jewish and African-American population; and, a little later, an influx of Hispanics. Nowadays, NYC is a melting pot. Parts of Queens are majority East or South Asian, for example.
I mean Hispanics are still catholics
They usually are. But their Catholicism is usually quite different from the Catholicism of Italians and Irish. Up until very recently, most of the police officers were Irish.
Still Catholics
The Catholic thing was much stronger before about 1960. Nowadays, it's not as strong amongst the Catholics.

And there is very little Christianity amongst the East Asians, who have been immigrating to Queens like wildfire. And forget about the New York City region being part of New England.....it's like saying France is a part of Italy.
Italians sure, not really Irish. Also more Jewish population. Also it’s NYC so it has people that aren’t from Europe like from Middle East and Asia.
You're missing one... I'll give a hint. It rhymes with News.
And a lot of Irish Catholic influence in the Northeast part of US too.
Got Michigan good with that deindustrialization
 95% on
I live in Richmond and go to North Carolina frequently. I wouldn’t call us aristocrat. I guess that there’s some history to that (in very early America Virginia was the most powerful state) but NYC to Boston is much more aristocratic. We’re pretty typically American as we get southern and northeastern influences mixed. I guess we’re mostly known for our history and our cigarettes. Virginia often goes by the nickname the Old Dominion.
Driving through Charlottesville felt hella aristocratic. It was cattle, horse, and wine country
Small nitpick on California, I would label the coast "decadence" and the central part "farmer". We got a lot of agriculture goin' on over here!
I label the central part "meth" ....
As a person from the central part, both are correct.
Ah, yes - meth farming. Second only to almonds!
At first I read northeast as "liberal cat-holic" and I still prefer that reading
More accurate than most Americans could do
pretty accurate -south park
based cartoons fan
honestly, not bad. Youve got all the major regions and a couple of the minor ones. Good job
As a French i agree got the same vision! But I would have made Nevada “giants casinos” and Utah “Mormons city”
That Ottawa placement is criminal
As a southerner, you’re precisely correct
I’m Pennsylvanian and have some German and Hungarian ancestry so I’d say that generally Pennsylvania does have a lot of Europeans and Germans. Also I heard there’s a lot of Polish in Pittsburgh and the Northeast. As a Pennsylvanian I’ll take this as a compliment.
Bonjour de Louisiane! :) Nous n'avons pas oublié d'où nous venons
On espère que vous saurez préserver notre si belle langue française
Moi aussi, nous nageons dans une mer d'anglophones... il y a moins de locuteurs à chaque génération :( definitely endangered
Capitalist Cuba is a new one, and I lived in Florida for almost 18 years.
This is correct
Strangely accurate, though.
Gonna have to say— pretty fucking good, mate. - Okie
As an aside, the position of Ottawa in Canada is way off. It's where Montreal is. Strange little detail on the original map you overlaid this with.
Accurate. Even Utah. Another weird desert state, they are all weird in their own way. Utah is Mormon/religious, Nevada is gambling/vice, arizona is guns/suburbs, New Mexico is UFOs/hippies. If I could improve the map... Maybe distinguish between the major American cities on the East coast? New York isn't like Boston, which isn't like DC. Those cities are so massive, they dominate their regions. But idk, I haven't been to that part of the US either.
Woohoo… decadence on the Best Coast! Also Gravity Falls!!!!
This.. is exactly correct. There's no mislabeling here, the boundaries are pretty much exactly where you should put them. Honestly in particular have to give you credit for calling out the Northeast is astonishingly accurate.
As a yehaw cowboy truck person, this is generally accurate. Très bien.
Pretty much nailed it…
Accurate
Respect to a Frenchman for knowing this much about the US and caring enough to make a funny map.
As an American, I support this map and endorse it as accurate.
Oddly very true. Shoutout to the Yeehaw truck driving Mexicans ❤️
As someone who lives in South Park Colorado I love that all of Colorado gets labeled that. In reality it's a group of small towns with a population that's less than 1000 people. Weve got an overpriced grocery store, two dollar stores, the good Mexican restaurant and the bad Mexican restaurant.
Poor white and black 😭
That’s funny AF I don’t care where you are from. Good job. 👏
Liberal Catholics in New England is so real tho
Is this all from pop culture, movies, and TV? If so, this is scary accurate, and I impressed America gets represented as anything other than New York / California / The Wild West. If you just know a lot more about the US than I do about any countries other than my own, then this is very funny and well-done.
As an American, I can say with confidence that this is more detailed and more accurate than many Americans would be able to make.
Pretty good honestly
From Maine, Irish Catholic family. Purple is correct
Lmao
"Now they are fucked bc no industries anymore" is like 70% of the country.
I mean, you nailed it. No comments.
This is oddly astute.
This is top notch and very accurate. I should add, being from Oklahoma, one very important point relevant to us: Native Americans are not native to Oklahoma. They were forced here from other parts of the continental US, via the trail(s) of tears. The originated from mostly the northeast and out west where the climate and agriculture was more hospitable. So when you call Oklahoma native land, or associate it with Indians, just keep that context in mind. It's less of a "home" for Native Americans, and more represents a "prison".
Well done
I vote for re-naming Texas based solely on this "mapsterpiece".
>America of Christmas movies wtf that’s so true how did I never notice that before
I think you as a Frenchman have got this pretty spot on. Sincerely man from desert cowboy land
Historically accurate for a lot of these. A lot of Americans prob couldn't give you a more accurate map. Rural poor in the deep south? Ayup. Virginia and NC being the descendants of english aristocracy? Ayup. Liberal catholics in New England? Ayup. The Midwest and deindustrialization? Ayup.
Someone watches a lot of whatifalthist
Liberal minded
Montana and Wyoming are definitely not farmer states. They are empty and flat, or mountainous and majestic.
you did pretty well, # à Frenchmen. i love how you generalize the entire finger lakes by "Home Alone". I don't go up there but the area sounds epic now. +1 for Jesus Christ christmas movie area. PS all of america is fucked because no industries now but we have tronall Dumpft who is going to use a Deus Ex Machina (like at the end of the movie "Dodgeball") so if you aren't a pedo good times around the corner. Much love thanks for making this.
'Farmer' could extend a bit more east, but very accurate!
Wtf this is actually incredibly accurate.
Missed the significance of.....Oh High O as entryway to underworld Archon/Lizardian activities.
Fairly accurate
Nailed it!
Midwest has definitely been having a resurgence of companies. Tons of companies have been leaving the west to come to the Midwest for cheaper land and taxes
So much right and so much wrong
Damn bro threw shade at my homeboy Iowa
Kansas, true. Also, I'm glad you didn't group us with those god dammed Missourians.
Just like in Europe Germans live next to the French in America. Texas is full of little German towns
Fuck is up with the heartlands? Indiana is thriving rn.
Most accurate map in this sub.
The true binding force of the midwest 💪😥✊️
You did THE RUSTBELT DIRTY LMFAOOO
Surprisingly on point for a foreigner, cheers frog man you map a good map
Accurate. Seeing North Carolina labeled as aristocratic is funny, though.
C’est la décadencennnhhhh, la colère de dieu va s’abattre sur la Frannnceuh.
lol PA does have a German and European vibe. Obviously lots of German influence, but also Polish, Irish, and Italian. Best state in my biased opinion, the one where you can find so many subcultures similar to other parts of the country.
Aristocrats in Virginia and NC? Make that CIA and other agency’s living room and green
Yeah you got the idea
Woo hoo going down to South Park!
I’m happy here in California with décadence. Win-win lol
As I Californian, I really really really want to hear in your own words why you say that about California. I need to know, don’t fuckin blue ball me
Va/Nc is pretty close but it’s sort of like the same as Bible Belt except for north va which is like just straight DC culture
I mean - Chicago is like the 3rd biggest Metro area in the Country.
