I personally don't agree with Delaware and Maryland being classified as The South, but we have to use an official source, so the US Census Bureau would do.

Nothing wrong with being content in one location. Many people live in one area their entire lives, I want to move back up to the Northeast.

Fixed.

Here's something interesting. The US Census Bureau classifies Delaware and Maryland as [b]The South[/b]. I can understand Maryland somewhat being part of the South, but why Delaware? The Mason-Dixon line actually goes along the MD/PA border, then goes straight down along the DE/MD border, thus making Delaware part of "Yankee Land". I understand historically these two were border states, but if we're gonna geographically divide them up, why not use the proper usage of the Mason-Dixon divide?

Four regions.

There's a lot of cultural differences between the four areas of the country, not to mention minor ones inside of those regions too. Not to mention, you guys have approx 30-32 million, we have around 300 million. So of course we'll have regions! More people, more distinction.

I think if you talk to any Canadian, they will tell you that there is ABSOLUTELY distinction in the regions of Canada. Different accents, different lifestyles, et. etc. Numbers aren't really what define that, or China would have may, many regions.

For instance, the population from the maritimes are COMPLETELY different than the Northwest Territories, or the plains.

Maybe we should move this to the debate table!!
