Mississippi and Alabama are the first states I thought of. They even look similar, like mirror images.

Going through Gallup's "state of the states" perhaps

Alabama and Mississippi
Kansas and Nebraska

Although there are differences. Nebraska I believe is more Lutheran than Kansas, is a bit more Republican, and has less Southern influences. It seems like Alabama is a tad "whiter" than Mississippi and maybe a bit more religiously diverse.

I agree with the last part, but the two states have much more in common than just "last names" and are comparable on several levels even though some with that typical NC superiority complex refuse to see it. There's so much more to NC than Charlotte and Raleigh and even then, there are still similarities.

Considering that, I dont see how GA is so much more comparable to NC than SC.

Also, you cant really pen Alabama and Mississippi together, Alabama has many more sizable urban centers.

As a matter of fact, the majority of Mississippians live in rural areas...whereas over 3-plus million of Alabama's 4-plus million people..actually live in urban areas.

This is why I say that SC and AL are quite comparable: state populations almost the same, distribution of population within urban areas, somewhat similar economies, bad reps but redeeming qualities, etc.

U & I = Utah and Idaho. Culturally, southern Idaho has strong ties to Utah and a significant LDS influence. Boise reminds me of a smaller Salt Lake City.

I would say Michigan and Wisconsin. Vermont/New Hampshire.

I think it would be waaay, harder to find twin states for the larger states like NY, TX, CA, and FLA. The rest aren't so hard.

I would say Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are triplets. But Georgia has the biggest brain because of Atlanta.

I find GA more akin to NC. It's like a mixture of AL and NC to me. In a weird sense, it's like the similarities of NC skipped over SC and went straight to GA.
