US Regions - Tennessee

[Antonio the Sixth]

Now Tennessee.

Here are the two regions materialized on maps, in order to avoid confusion (light shades mean hypothetical).

Outer South (or Appalachia or however you want to call it) :

Deep South :

Please try to think about these options out of their context : the question isn't about the regions themselves, just about Tennessee.

Just to clarify, the red region in the map looks pretty senseless if you look at the pink State all together. In this case, the final red region can potentially comprise the pink States in the Southwest or those in the North, but obviously not both.

What about "neither," the option that I support?

Neither is obviously an option for these maps, generally speaking. But as I try to make regions with at leats 4 States each, I'd still try to add one or two more States to the dark red core.

Of course it could be that the Outer South/Appalachia is just not a region with four states. That certainly can be the case given the other regions that you have established.

Yes, of course. It's very possible to integrate WY and WV t a "rust belt/appalachia" region, and the other States in the Deep South, with TN being the key State to place in one of the two regions.

Outer South for me (but I don't count my own vote).

Knowing plenty of people there, deep south

Yeah, I think you're right.  I wish I could change my vote.

You're changing your vote from OS to DS ?
