What US state is most similar to Britain.

[Tory]

Pennsylvania:

Philadelphia= London
Pittsburgh= the Midlands
In the middle= Little Britain

Ohio can be very representative of the English countryside and certainly has the industrial areas, but there isn't a dominating city.

[Tory]

New England as a region would certainly work:

-Boston: London obviously. Many areas outside of the city, such as Lowell and Haverhill, are very industrial(midlands or south Wales).
-Maine: Scotland
-Connecticut is a densely populated state and has that "little England" feel
-Rhode Island is a mixture of industrial areas(midlands) and has little coastal resorts.

Politically they are similar. Vermont, Mass, RI, and ME are Democrat. New Hampshire is the sort of quasi Libertarian area, representing SE England and the London exurbs.

I'd agree that new England is the most similar to England

But in terms of an actual state, it is harder to pinpoint.

BTW, Australia is most like Oregon, I tink.

Australia is closest to California without a doubt.

Sydney= Los Angeles: warmer in climate, in the spotlight, suburbs are infinately more conservative, younger(in style, not actual age), hipper.

Melbourne=San Francisco: Weather isn't that great compared to LA/Sydney, more left wing all around, tram system, more European and "old world" in flavour, more cultured.

Plus the weather in California is similar to that of NSW, VIC, SA, and WA.

Queensland is obviously closest to Florida: The southern coast is basically like the Miami/South Florida area, then you have the rednecks up north . Its also more conservative, as is Florida.
