Bit like the States in many respects, the UK. Every State and within its regions are very different, and you often think you are on a different planet sometimes, especially down deep south, in the States and the UK. Cornwall where I have lots of relations are very tribal and fight every inch for fishing rights and all matters the sea, and Northumbria/Wales/Scotland, so diverse, and the reason why I spend much of time these days travelling within the UK becuase, simply put, its so beautiful especially up in the mountains of Wales or Scotland.
Using Pennysylvania as an example, go out of Philly into the countryside and especially into Amish country, and its so staggeringly beautiful, and the ice cream is to die for made at local farms.
We know nothing until you visit the farms of these very able and friendly people, you do feel you are somewhere else. Settlers who made it home a few hundred years ago, and brought so much to the diversity of the U.S.A
