The United States was like the world packed into one nation. If each state could match a country in the world, which would it be? I'll start it off.
- California=Australia (similar climates/vegetation, laid-back surf culture, casual) or Japan (dense population, mountains and coast close together, earthquakes)
- Washington=New Zealand or Sweden (climate and scenery, Seattle has a large Swedish descent population)
- New York=England (New York City and London, big world cities/financial capitals, similar in culture)
- New Jersey=Italy (large Italian population)
- Massachusetts=Ireland (large Irish population)
- Minnesota=Finland (MN has a lot of Finish descendants, and advanced technology) or Canada (friendly people, cold weather, similar accent)
- Wisconsin=Germany (German population and culture)
- Michigan=Poland, Greece, or Italy
- Pennsylvania=Poland? (PA also has a large Polish population)
- Illinois=France
- Florida=Cuba or Spain
- Georgia=South Africa or South Korea (sister relations to those nations), also Georgia (former Soviet Republic) (same name)
- Texas=China (large landmass, strong economy) or Mexico (desert, Tex-Mex population) or any nation that has a lot of oil

It has a large Greek and Italian population, especially around Detroit. Another match could be Netherlands, with a Dutch population. There is even a Holland, MI. Louisiana could also be a match for Netherlands with its below sea level ground.

Michigan resembles Finland or Sweden much more than Italy
