America from a European perspective

Surprisingly accurate.

European here, these are what different states or areas of the USA remind me of (like what's the first think I think of when I hear it's name):

• Southern states: right wing twats
• Alabama: incest
• Florida: gators and really, really weird news headlines
• Texas: stupidly large trucks, guns and cowboys
• Alaska: cold, that one goldrush
• California: expensive, liberal
• Ohio: those fucking memes
• Hawaii: warm, colonialism
• Mississippi: riverboats
• Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?

The blue one just needs to be switched to alcoholism and drugs. Then it's perfect.

They put Detroit in the wrong spot

The Incest area is way too small. The Cowboy area is way too big.

TBH probably more accurate than an American perspective.

As a European who doesn't know much about the states: This is pretty accurate. I would exchange gators for florida man and I don't know what the cars and crime one is but otherwise it's spot on.

Sadly, Cowboy and New York are much smaller and incest is much larger.

I'm surprised anyone there knows that the UP of Michigan exists. It's a sparcely populated area with low crime. Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and drinking.

They think Seattle is full of cowboys?

I'd just like to point out that some European countries have higher rates of incest than the US.

Cousin marriage is also illegal in much of the US while it is legal in much of Europe.

In fact, if this is to be believed (not a clue how accurate this is), Spain, Portugal, and Italy (as well as Canada and Mexico) have higher rates of incest than any single state in the United States.

Eh, not far off

I'd change Florida to Disney World because that's the main reason anyone would get a passport to go to Florida.

And where do the religious nuts go?

Nah, Cowboys are South.

Middle are "Religious Nutcases"

That's more what an American thinks a European perspective is.

I think this map was made by an American cos it's referencing cultural things that I don't know or care about.

Interesting that your perspective includes less incest than mine... And I live in Alabama!

Not entirely inaccurate...

Hawaii and Alaska are just ???

Don't you know that the entire west coast is just Los Angeles?

I thought Texas was a place of Beers, Steers + Qveers.

North California is way more "cowboy" than "movie", by the way.

I'll have you know Louisiana has nearly double the alligators of Florida, and Florida legally allows marriage between first cousins. So boom.

We don't talk about Alaska

incest needs to span further upward i think, but other than that it's a surprisingly accurate depiction of the US lolol

I'm surprised it's not just one color called "Opioids"

Just going to put all of the deep south in New York huh.

I always assumed that the cowboy area was bigger!

From a US-American perspective, pretty much, yeah

I dunno man, every time I was in Europe and told people I was from Seattle they were like, Nirvana!!! Even like decades after Cobain killed himself.

Come on, you mean to tell me the United States of America were a real country? How ludicrous!

ny is only on the east coast. flyover states are between movie and ny. the incest states should be bigger. gator should be renamed to florida man.

From a south american perspective, one color, "hates me"

Eh, not only is it not terribly accurate, but the jokes are overused.

Washington doesn't deserve to be part of the cowboy. No one cares about the east side of it

Mexico

Why would anyone care about second level government zones?

Put some respek on the peninsula! It's gorgeous up there!

Cowboys, incest, but no meth?

can confirm

I also know where Vermont (or rather home in the USA) is thanks to Bernie Sanders. But otherwise, pretty accurate.

Can't believe you'd do New England dirty like that

The bottom half of New York should be incest, and then New York should be extended to include Canada's big cities

You have no idea how offensive this is to literally all of us.

Not even wrong

You mean USA.

And pasta

Lemons, oranges, incest, lesbian incest and grapefruits

This probably gives Europeans too much credit.

Food

Add a bubble for "backwoods removed" from Georgia (minus Atlanta), the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Virginias and you're dead on.

I mean thats what happens when you murder or drive out all the original inhabitants. Then you get to start your own history, that was the point, right guys?
