I have travelled all over the U.S. and I arrived at the conclusion that the U.S. is a conglomeration of people that have pretty much nothing in common.

Explains why the second you pass out of Chicagoland in Illinois, you're on a different planet.

Back in the 1990’s I read a book called “The Nine Nations of North America”which I found pretty fascinating at the time. It seems like this thesis is still alive and well to me. After all, we cannot escape history and geography.

"The Left Coast" is more often called "Cascadia."

Combining the northeast with much of the Midwest lake region is crazy work….very different places
@rhombusx
I feel like at this point, our differences are so much along rural-urban lines that we practically have essentially small but highly densely populated city-states, and then the vast rural swaths that are more dominated by the more traditional resource based economies pointed out in the video.
@MegaMentholMan
Throwing western states into one poorly researched, "nation" proves someone was too lazy to learn about the differences in said area.
@DeeperWithDiego
This is exactly how someone from outside the US would subjectively divide the US into what they've seen in the movies.

last time I was this early, the US was 13 colonies

Could have expanded "Hawaii" to " American Polynesia" including Samoa, Guam, Marianas.

12 nations….12 districts….we’re getting closer and closer to the hunger games

5:26 Correction: European borders were formed over the course of centuries by war and politics, not so much by language or culture.

How anyone believes W. Texas is part of Appalachia is insane.
@MrMurica
Arguing Long Island is in the Same nation at Chicago, but not the same nation as NYC should instantly discredit this

This comment section is gold. Rage, fight, irony. Grab a popcorn 😅
@helloworlddon
I get the need to rethink what our actual states are but the bigger divide is really urban versus rural... This divide explains so much more about our problems than anything else. People love to say red state blue state but it's really urban vs rural in about every state.
@wellmyfriend326
So glad I'm not the only one noticing how little sense this hypothesis makes today. Maybe the cultures were spread out in a different way back in the mid 19th century but we've had a ton of migration within and without the US since then that has completely redefined our cultural boundaries.
@RebelCowboysRVs
About half of this makes sense, an the rest feels peaced together like a 5 year old doing a jigsaw puzzle using a hammer.
@Kaipi1988
I'm sorry but no... Texas is not Appalachia.
