According to this website it would be around 2km high cliffs. Other cliffs around the French border would be around 4km high, as the Italy/France border (and Italy/Switzerland border, for that matter) is right on the summits of the mountain in the Alps.

At least parts of Ticino are only at 300ish m. But the waterfalls from all the lakes on the border would be spectacular.

replace "Midwest" with "Intermountain West" and create a mid-Atlantic area that's people that aren't Red Sox fans and that's about 95% accurate.

Middle Atlantic. New England ends at Connecticut.

Technically Maryland is part of the South, since it was a slave state.

The state legislature tried to fence-sit early in the war. They did ask the Union to remove troops, and closed rail lines to the North until Butler declared martial law. And early in the war a third of the state legislature was arrested for fear they would vote for secession - a very likely prospect at that point despite having voted otherwise earlier - because Maryland seceding would isolate DC in enemy territory.

EDIT: Currently I don't think Maryland is part of the South, I think it's a Mid-Atlantic state. Regions change in character.

The deep south should go to Georgia and Arkansas should be in the regular south, too.

For that matter, make the deep south extend to Jacksonville

Californians are right. The PNW already had to add "Pacific" to their name to distinguish it from the old Northwest. "The Midwest" didn't even make sense as a name when they started using it. The arbitrary tyranny of Ohio must end.

Where is the geometric center of USA anyway?

considering Haway and Alaska parts of USA, I mean.

probably somewhere in the mid of the pacific ocean




Edit:

it seems I was wrong, the center of USA is in canada, near Edmonton.

so he midwest of USA would be Alberta

Edit2:

or perhaps idaho.

I have no idea, but there's a place in the Netherlands that's supposedly the geometric center. It has a stone with a big ring on it, with a sign that says "lift the country from this ring and nobody will notice".
