    And it's far to rural...

    Sorry, Appalachia does not exist in European mental maps.

    Which is a little funny, because the Appalachian mountain range is part of the same mountains as the Scottish Highlands: https://youtube.com/shorts/c_JWEipGwgs

      Yeah, seriously. At least call us, "Revolutionary War Reenactors," or, "Cold NYC." I'd even take, "Southern Quebec." But lumping us in with Montana and the Dakotas? That's some bullshit.

      Same for the PNW, but I don't mind keeping a low profile.

          New England is distinctly different from Nomansland.

          It's called New England like the old one was worth reproducing and for that reason I'm sceptical.

                    I love that San Francisco (NorCal) and LA (SoCal) are swapped.

                    (And also that NYC doesn’t actually include NYC.)

                              Really is. Though imo nevada (more like fo:nv than just v) is kind of its own thing. More baroque crazy mobbed up gambling&sovcit nonsense.

                                      I have no clue how they are supposed to be name. In French, we call the place "la région des grands lacs" and I was pretty sure I got the english name right.

                                      Edit: According to Wikipedia, I've only forgot an s at Lakes.

                                        This is good. I will have to come up with one for europe with less racist but more bigots.

                                        I don’t know if Europe could be reasonably considered less racist.

                                          I mean the Great Lakes are truly inland freshwater oceans with tides, imense international shipping, famous shipwrecks, forgotten shipwrecks, folk songs about famous shipwrecks and even piracy

                                          So the term "great lakes" clearly communicates that these are lakes (freshwater, not hydrologically connected to the ocean) but also that these are notable lakes as the "great" indicates the size, notability and gives a sense of wonder
