Do people associate themselves more with a region, such as seeing themselves as a Southerner or a New Englander or is it common to identify with their state?
I associate myself more with my region than my state but I think this might be due to my particular state/region combination.
I'm from southern Illinois very near St. Louis, Missouri.
I don't associate myself with Illinoians as much as I associate myself with the St. Louis region. Most people from Illinois are from the Chicago area and they are a lot different than us down here.
