The midlands include NJ (And then the article claims that it starts in PA and DE)?

Proof that we need to cut down on the amount of journalist majors.  Clickbait, scroll thru each page to read the story articles are the result of way too many graduates in a slowing industry.

Not dissimilar from previous efforts dating back to at least the 1970s.  Actually fairly well thought out, although (much like the Almanac of American Politics) it places too much emphasis on who the original settlers of a place were. 

Really society can be divided into two groups.  Those who wish to be left alone and those who refuse to leave others alone.

As it’s the third time I’ve seen this, the unanswered question of the nation’s 8th-largest metropolis could easily be Nation #12: Floribbean.

But nobody wants hear about the prerequisites of learning Spanish and dealing with 65-degree winters.

I've read the book, and I agree with most of it.  A few differences I have, based on my observations:

I'd split Yankeedom into two.  An eastern part, east of a line drawn between the Catskills and the Adirondacks, and a western part, west of said line, with the split somewhere near Syracuse, New York.

I'd add a Yankee-descended area in Utah and Idaho, centered on Salt Lake City.  The folks who settled there (LDS) were from upstate & western New York originally, part of Yankeedom.

Joel Garreau addressed that a bit in his Nine Nations of North America as "The Islands".  I don't think Woodward wanted to get into South Florida as much, but I'd agree that South Florida and the Caribbean make up yet another "nation" of North America.

I think this was pretty well thought out, although I might quibble with the borders some. I find it interesting that my county (Craven in NC) is the far NE corner of the deep south but Beaufort, Pamlico and Carteret counties are considered Tidewater. I spend alot of time in all 4 counties and all 4 are pretty much the same as far as the way we act, speak, engage in politics (or the lack therof) etc. All of Eastern NC, the region we call the Crystal Coast is like that-more like the rest of what the author classifies as the Deep South, than like the Tidewater which he has Carteret, Pamlico and Beaufort in.

There.  Image imbedded so we're not rewarding clickbaiters for their shitty articles.
