…Ohio is part of the midwest.
eh, true midwest isnt till indiana. ohio is closer to west virginia/kenfucky
Ohio is officially counted as the eastern most Midwestern state. It has been for at least a century.
I see the Midwest as more of a cultural region than a physical one. Ohio and Indiana honestly both perfectly fit in with the Midwestern culture, so I welcome them into the “Midwestern” moniker
Personally, I see the Midwest as a triangle with Ohio, Minnesota, and Missouri as the corners. Kentucky and Arkansas are too southern culturally (and honestly, the southern half of Missouri is too) Oklahoma is almost southwestern culturally, and Kansas, the Dakotas and Nebraska are very western culturally (and honestly Western Minnesota and Western Iowa are pretty Western culturally too)
Yeah the transappalachian great lakes region and the great plains. The real question is is west Pennsylvania midwestern
i don’t think you can be appalachian and midwestern, too. i think an argument can be made that the midwest is the mississippi and great lakes watersheds without mountains north of the missouri compromise line
I agree, and I meant west of the Appalachians, not necessarily including them. This of course does make ohio weird as regardless the vast majority of it is past the mountains but a tiny bit brushes into the foothills.
Isn’t just living in Ohio the same as being in an active warzone?
Nah, more of a “crabs in a bucket” situation. Nobody wants to be here. A not-insubstantial amount of the population was either dumped out the gate of the nearest military base upon retirement or is otherwise descended from those that were.
Hey now there are also Scots-Irish infesting the Appalachian segments, got some distant kin there.
Shots fired
As an Ohio resident that had 2 people pull a gun on me and someone firing off in an alley I was working in just last year alone, I’d say it’s getting close.
Imagine having fully operating concentration camps where people from all over the country is arbitrarily “detained” and put in, and just going about your day like usual.
Imagine the people running your country are literally fucking and eating kids.
You could have added “fucking” after literally to make a double entendre.
Stupid autocorrect.
What?
“Ohio isn’t in the midwest.”
Maps without the UP?
The UP is there, the map includes the borders at the great lakes
They botched the LP too
It looks more like they just left Lake Michigan as part of the main landmass
There is an active war in Ohio.
I am disturbed by the lack of Great Lakes.
Oh look at that DC is in Russia. Fitting analogy.
I’m in SW Romania. I can drive to Ukraine in a day.
And yea, just kinda… living my life. Not much else I can do.
It’s kinda cozy there. It’s like a tidy swamp.
The Midwest ends somewhere around poland/the northern Baltics in that map, I was under the impression that those areas have been freaked out.
Russia can just have Ohio.
Ohio isn’t even a real state.
Ever meet anyone from Ohio?
Of course you haven’t.
Oh, you have? That was a CIA agent.
Ohio isn’t even a real state.
Yes it is, do you know how many zoomers spent the last 5 years in a state of constant Ohio?
it’s pronounced Ahegao btw
I thought that was Wyoming?
So when am I getting my back pay from the CIA?
We did that already, but with Minnesota.
Ohwhereo?
Ohhowihateohiostate
The one thing that this overlay is making me realise is that there are actually some parallels here. The North and Midwest kind of seem the same type of people, same with the UK being the northwest, Iberia basically being California/Nevada and Italy being a spaghetti western country with far right tendencies.
Italy is more like california I think. Spain is a lot poorer. Greece is like lousiana maybe, spain could be like the texas gulf coast maybe. Central Europe is not unlike the upper midwest in the industrial heartland. Western Europe like the northeast corridor in the US.
California’s economy ranks somewhere between the UK and Germany.
Texas would be somewhere between France and Italy.
