Sorry Mimzy, I still don't see what most of Texas (and much of Oklahoma either) has in common historically and culturally with the northern plains and Midwest states.

I think "Breadbasket" was wrong on the orginial 9 nations map.
Northeastern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin and especially the UP of Michigan are all heavily wooded and are NOT part of the Breadbasket. They should be part of the "Lakeland" instead.
Good job Mimzy. I like all the details you included, like Newfoundland as part of greater "New England", a section of New Brunswick as part of "Quebec", a section of Connecticut as part of "Lakeland" etc.
Btw, I love the Lakeland region. I wish that my state and Pennsylvania would reorient themselves strategically to join up with the other Great Lake States. Its the economic links that made this country great....The Erie Canal, the NYC Central, The Erie RR, The B & O and the great Pennsylvania Railroad.
However, there is one SERIOUS flaw on this map. Why isn't Long Island colored in!!!!
The lakes need to go further into Wisc. and Illinois, and Breadbasekt based on that map has around 40 million people, not 10 million. I also don't think Dallas should be anywhere near the same region as the upper midwest and canada.
See I am torn to comment on these because these are interpretive and someone obviously spent time, but what does the area East of the Appalcians on the East coast have in common with the lakes, NJ, SE NY, SE PA, the Cheseapeake area etc, culturally and historically a very distinct region

MN and WI are more "Lakeland" than most of Lakeland, so I'd say extend that boundary to the end of Lake Superior and engulf most of WI and the northern half of MN at least.
