http://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7![]() I think this does a good job at explaining the cultural differences that exist within the USA. |

Interesting map - although it makes me wonder, how many 'nations' would exist within other countries according to this criteria? I'm guessing the UK would have more than the usual four. |

So I truly wonder how much I have in common with Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kanasas, etc. I think they might should of left Appalachia as... Appalachia, mostly West Virginia, Western (real) Virginia, Western NC, Tennessee, Kentucky, and parts of Pennsylvania. |

hmmm, might be right but that really depends on who you talk to. |

I think the map is just doing that in order to show where some of these 11 cultural entities cross international borders (i.e. where parts of Canada and Mexico are culturally similar to parts of the USA). (Of course, given that I've never been to North America, I don't know first-hand how accurate any of this map is )

most would say again it depends on who you talk to as with the US you will find even in those denser areas people from other locations in the US so its not always just one cultural area but a massive melting pot as the US has always been. Also yes i believe CJ is correct in saying it is simply to show how certain areas of the US have similar cultural ties to canada and mexico in certain regions. |

it almost sounds like you are talking about people from newfoundland area, i have a friend or two from up there and they speak like that. good folk, but im simply pointing out what they grid is trying to reference. I said in certain regions IE along the borders cultures will be similar, farther inland not as much if at all. |

Well, I don't know how much similarity there will be within each of these 11 areas. However, they certainly won't all be monolithic: they're all still big enough for there to be significant diversity within each one (I'm guessing that on average, each one represents around 30 million people - and some of the larger ones will have significantly more than that?). Also, the areas probably all blend into one another to a certain extent, so wherever borders they draw, they're likely to be approximate and arbitrary. |
