Ie: Asking Europeans to point out a map what states make up Appalachia, the Mid-Atlantic, etc. Some of the US regions don't have really consistent definitions though like people used to consider MD to be kinda a southern state but now it's considered part of the NE. Or, like, is Pittsburgh in the NE or Appalachia or Rust Belt or Mid West or Great Lakes or??... And are the Great Plains part of the Midwest or are they their own thing?

It's easy, you just gotta remember that Kansas City is in Missouri and Missouri City is in Texas because the US is quirky like that. Texas City is in Texas though, cause Texas ain't nobody else's b****. Edited February 21, 2023 by Ash12345

So it got me thinking, ATRL how many states can you name? Id love to know who thought this LMAO.
