This will be a series of polls asking what U.S. state European countries are most similar to. We'll be starting with Germany.

California? Really? Aside from both being big, I don't really see it.

California seems more like France. Of course, California is probably going to win that one too. Tongue

By population density... Maryland. (Which, come to think of it, has protestant and catholic rural areas. And geologically quite distinct plains and uplands areas in a way reminding of Germany, although the same goes anywhere south of it as well. It's also the only place in the US to have had both catholic and protestand immigration during the time when it really meant something. So yeah, I'm feeling ever more content with my pick. -_- )

I was wondering when you were going to reply. Interesting perspective.

Pennsylvania wouldn't have been my first choice, but I've voted for it just so California doesn't get it.

Though I suppose East Germany is kind of like Western Pennsylvania, and West Germany like Eastern Pennsylvania... lulz
