Missouri and Kentucky. Both have a mountain component, two major cities and numerous small cities that influence a decently large region. Similar climates between southern Missouri and the western 2/3rds of Kentucky. Somewhat of a similar culture in certain situations, but with Missouri being more midwestern and Kentucky being more southern. They're histories are somewhat similar, both were border states and their cultural affiliations have changed over the years (and still changing). Both are unique to the region that they are affiliated with (Missouri is a very unique state in the Midwest and Kentucky is a very unique state in the south).

simple answers for New Mexico are cohesive simalarities to the state border regions. Eastern NM is very much like West Texas, Northern NM is very different from Colorado so it can't really be compared but there is some crossover, Western NM seems to blend seemlessly into the Navajo lands of Arizona.
MD, VA's little twin. Both are on the coast with both states sharing assateque island, both have a major coastal resort city, both have the Appalachians, both share the Chesapeake, One has a large naval base and the other has an academy, both have an eastern shore part that gets ignored by the rest of the state, both are big on chicken farms, both have some of the best offshore fishing in the US, and both share the DC area.
The eastern part where I'm at is about the same as DE, eastern VA, and eastern NC.
The northern part blends to PA. The western part blends with PA and WV. The southern part blends with VA and the central suburbs around DC is like northern VA.
Virginia (where I grew up) IMO is a carbon copy of North Carolina. Hillbillys, moonshine, and Mountains out west, beaches on the east, cities with large transient populations, similar weather, both share history in the origins of NASCAR, both were large tobacco production areas....and several more.
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa. And Ontario and Manitoba.
