The Far West: The Great Plains and the Mountain West were built by industry, made necessary by harsh, sometimes inhospitable climates. Far Westerners are intensely libertarian and deeply distrustful of big institutions, whether they are railroads and monopolies or the federal government.

It would be cool if there was a version of the map that I could read without putting my face five inches from the screen.

I like to divide up the USA into my own personal fiefdoms every now and then.  This map clashes with my visions, and really limits the geography of some places.  I respectfully disagree with their interpretation.

Colin Woodard was at my school last year for a day and did his whole speech on this...pretty cool stuff imo  :p

It was a pretty small talk in my library but was pretty awesome at the same time
