Accents are really regional, like my town has a sort of rural drawl going but lots of folks speak at least a little Spanish so you get kind of a pidgin going sometimes. But thanks to everyone knowing the Hollywood accent, its possible to not sound like a deranged redneck all the time. Also I wonder if Europeans realise how decentralized US government is. The way it works basically is los federales set a bunch of direct and even more vague requirements for the states, and typically the states do the same for their counties. For example my rural county has a comparatively large property tax to fund a lot of assistance programs and to keep our many rural roads driveable. But the county next door might only perform state required services and basically rely on their residents to form city government for everything else.

Speaking as a country boy, nobody cares unless you go to a real small town and start talking about how lovely it is and how they oughta pack up and move.
