I'm always surprised when talking to someone from across the pond that doesn't realize that East to West Coast is like ~3000 miles.
America is a huge fucking country. People don't realize that you can't just hop in your car and go visit your neighboring state. I live in northern Illinois, respectively. I can be in Wisconsin in about an hour and a half. I can also make my way towards Indiana in reasonable time: but the northwest half of Indiana is a ghetto shithole....
My point is: getting down to Missouri (or
misery, as I like to call that dump) or Kentucky takes a loooooooooooong ass time. We are talking at least 6 hours from Chicago to St. Louis. It's not just like, "hey I'm going to hop on my bullet train and be in another country in 45 minutes!" It doesn't work like that in the States. An airplane ride from Midwest USA to the East Coast takes about 5 hours. So pick your poison: 5 hours to St. Louis by car, or 5 hours to Florida by plane.
There's also huge regional differences, and huge cultural differences. I cannot discern the accents of folks out in the Carolinas. Seriously, white folks from the Carolinas are blacker than black folks from Chicago. At least in terms of accents.
As for names? Pffft....
United States of Fuck Canada, eh!
