You know, I'm in Canada, and the Canadian shield would make for a GREAT fortress.

US, in Iowa.  I moved to this state for the vowel-to-consonant ratio.

hahaha

I'm in the US.  Don't we get more than one option, too?    Culturally speaking, there are serious differences.

Huh... I was expecting something like that (with californian people :p), but my knowledge about America isn't large enough to cut it into regions At least, I separated you from Canadian and Mexicans.

UK ftw!

Heh, you could probably include Canada since there isn't an enormous divide culturally. (At least no more than inside the US)  Though I'll probably end up on some Canadian hit-list for saying that

Purely for purposes of personal interest, here is a map of cultural regions inside North America (The regions are too small for a poll like this, I think):

I can't vouch for anything other than the northwest coast, which is pretty much right on.

This map also seems to favor the west coast as far as divisions go.  The East could probably be subdivided more as well.

[Timst]

Ah yes, interresting.

I have to admit that, from Europe, USA look like a large and rather uniform country, that may be divided into a "west coast" with sunny beaches and surfers and canyons and palmtrees, and a "east coast" with wooden houses and grey industrial cities and paddle steamer on large rivers and snowy conifers forests. The usual stereotype also include central plains with stupid patriotic farmers, indians in camps and neverending freeways.

Yeah, I know, that's terrible.

[Tormy]

Just some notes:
Baltic countries = Eastern Europe
Bulgary = Bulgaria
Hungary = Central Europe

[Rhenaya]

so where i am now? i am exactly between the countries you put up as south, eastern and western europe ^^ and as tormy said: central europe is somewhat missing :>

[SolarShado]

South-East USA, here.

[Timst]

Ok, to solve all this North / Central / East mess, I just checked Wikipedia, and there's a map here which divide Europe into the following parts :



Northern Countries : Extended scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Denmark + Iceland + Finland + Feroes islands) AND Baltic countries.

Eastern Countries : Belarus, Ukraine, Romania... Russia is also included.

Southern (or Meridional) Countries : Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, but also Cyprus, Malta, Macedonia and Balkans countries, but also Bulgaria (yep, I mispelled it) and Moldavia.

Western (or Occidental) Countries : France, Swiss, United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Central Countries : Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, etc.


So please stick to this map. I don't totally agree with it (the Eastern Europe is very small right now), but if we don't want to screw the poll any longer, we have to find a definition of what are the European regions.

No more terrible than the ignorance of European divisions I see here.  Also, many people in Eastern USA look at the west as uniform in the same way 

If you want to subdivide the USA, you might try a four section subdivision like west, south, midwest, and northeast.  Of course, good luck getting non-controversial borders.  One rendition is below.
