Does Boise have anything in common with NYC/NJ/Atlanta/Dallas/DC? HELL NO!!!

I don't think Missouri should be in Lakeland.

I couldnt see a picture of it, but I wonder if DFW would even be in the same nation as Atlanta and Houston. I would think there is a chance they put DFW in with the rest of the plains.

Agreed.

I have been saying this for quite some time now. Indeed, a French Canadian author wrote what was quite a popular book at the time on the subject, sometime in the 1980's, I believe.

Someone posted early on in the thread saying "What we have works alright" or something to that effect and I could not disagree more. I think people have been so indoctrinated into thinking that the U.S. will be around for 1,000 years unchanged with no state ever leaving or new nations forming (notice how all secessionist talk is just labeled "silly" and "extremist"). These people are ignorant and ignore the history lessons learned from the Roman Empire, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, etc.

Someone in Montana has much more in common with someone in Alberta than someone from Philadelphia.

not sure why north caroliana and virginia are group with maine, as opposed to the rest of the south. also, more of central kentucky, and southwest kentucky should be grouped with the south. same for the missouri bootheal

All of Kentucky and most of Missouri should be in the south. Also all of North Carolina and parts of Va should be in the south. All of New York and Pennsylvania should be in the east.

I'm not too keen on this map. But since your Lakeland region spans two countries; share the capital between the cities of Detroit and Windsor. Besides, Detroit could use some rejuvenation.

in my opinion, the only two cities that are serious candidates for that role are houston and atlanta
Going by that logic Washington DC shouldn't be the capital of the US because it's not the biggest city.
