What state has the most residents that would identify by state rather than the U.S.A overseas? (live, map)

[GLS2010]

here we go again with the certain NY'ers who think NY is better than any other state..

No state is the most recognizable state in the whole U.S. It just depends on the person.

I agree, NYC is the only thing recognizable in NY. I can post a picture of upstate NY and 90% of people won't be able to confidently recognize it as NY.

[eek]

you need to poll more ppl then.

and no one is saying that ny is the best state. lol @ the inferiority complex showing.

if you don't think ny (really just the city but the state because of the city IMHO) is the most recognizable area of the country then you need to travel more.

ppl outside of america don't know about most of america, period. the only places they really recognize or know a little about are places such as ny, dc, los angeles...etc. because that is what they hear in music and see on tv.

nyc is popular because of history, music, the economy, etc.
no one is saying that its better.

but things such as:

record labels being based in nyc
wall street
9/11
ny yankees
the fashion industry
statue of liberty
brooklyn bridge
empire state building
times sq
34th st
5th ave
central park
etc.

are recognized. the fact that ppl from around the country and the world...the fact that they are able to name streets here without having ever stepped foot here should say a lot.

i'm sure that everyone is familiar with 5th ave?? times sq? wall st?

I would say NY because it is the state and the city when you say it...lol

New york city is the most recognizable city, California is the most recognizable state.

Without a doubt it would be Alaska!!- Alaskans identify themselves as "from Alaska" rather than from the USA. That's just the way it is way up here

Although Hawaii could be a close tie way out there.

Oregon behind those ones. Oregon doesn't even feel very "American". Not like California does where you sit up and think, "I'm definitely in the U.S.A." Even Seattle feels more "American".

Everyone I know who has travelled overseas identified themselves as "from Oregon, which is right above California".
