The capital and largest city in South Carolina is Columbia (http://http://www.columbiasc.net/ - broken link), and Columbia is home to the University of South Carolina.
Columbia does not dominate South Carolina. Charleston and Greenville/Spartanburg definitely do not look to Columbia for anything besides the state capital.
Evansville has very few suburbs and carries very little weight in Indiana politics and economics compared to Indianapolis.
This is sad but true. Evansville could fall off into Kentucky and no one north of Bloomington would notice for a few weeks. Indianapolis is the economic engine that drives the state of Indiana as far as cities go. Fort Wayne and Evansville are nice in their own rights; but they can not come close to competing with the Indianapolis area for influence in Indiana.
Easy: Wyoming. Other than Cheyenne, what is there?
Most of those other states, even Utah, have smaller hubs, such as St. George. Similarly, Arkansas has other small clusters of activity in addition to Little Rock.

greenville/spartanburg
columbia

nope, sc does not rely on any single city for anything
Seems like a lot of people on here basically posted the largest metro in the state and said it dominated, well... obviously the largest population center is dominant in size, but that doesn't mean anything if there are other large (but not as large) metro areas in the state. Places like Utah or Nebraska where the majority of the population is in one area is what the OP was asking for I believe.
Louisiana definitely does NOT belong on this list.
If you go 2 hours west of New Orleans, past Baton Rouge, people don't talk as much about NOLA. WE visit it and are proud of it as a great tourist city and a place of culture, but Lafayette has its own special culture very different from NOLA. The parish itself has about 200 K people and the surrounding Acadiana area has about 550K altogether. Lafayette itself has about 120K and growing rapidly. Baton Rouge has 220K with a Metro of 750K, and NOLA has about 350K with a metro of 1.3 million. Not exactly massive differences that you could call dominant. These are all distinct regions with specific cultures and culinary tastes. Especially Lafayette. Once you go north of alexandria, the region is dominated by Shreveport with 200K, and they hardly aknowledge NOLA, as they are far closer to Dallas and Texas. Louisiana is a pretty balanced state population wise.
