I have no idea when this sytems was set up but decades ago most Puerto Ricans moved to NYC. So maybe that influenced the decison to include PR. in with NY. NYC still has a high Puerto Rican population but not has high has decades ago. Today, many migrate to CT. PA, and many more to Central Florida.


Maybe, but the rest of the system groups the states/territories geographically (or something close to it). Not culturally (hence the reason why Louisiana and Mississippi aren't in the same region, despite having fairly similar cultures).

Oh yeah fuckin' right. The United States is the most economically powerful nation in the world, and is the Microcosm for the entire Western world. Like I said, you must live under a rock.

Ever left the US? And if so, ever communicated with non-Americans about the topic? "State" is a fairly common term for when people are talking about national subdivisions not specific to any particular country, mostly because "national subdivision" is too clunky.

If i was held at gunpoint and told to pick which state I'm "from" then it'd be massachusetts, but I've spent enough time in my New Hampshire residence that I can say I'm from there too. And it makes me realize, I don't think I've EVER seen anyone else from the Granite State on here.

I was born in Ohio, and soon after moved to Texas where I currently reside.

As soon as I get out of high school and a couple years of College, I'm probably going back to Ohio.

Well I've been a resident of a bunch of different states (Florida, Georgia, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Lazio, and probably Minnesota soon), I currently live in South Dakota and I'm honestly shocked to see that there is another South Dakotan out there.

You bet I'd do something I wouldn't. You were wrong. I won that bet.

Then your insistence that "state" first and foremost refers to those in the US in an international context is even more puzzling.
