    Alright, polandball time: I’ll ask around the EU++ who wants to play Arkansas in the school play…if nobody takes it, I’m giving it to Hungary :D because they’re being a dick lately. So, which state do you want? I hear Idaho’s nice :) Germany already took California, France took New York, Italy took Texas, Spain took Florida, the Netherlands took Pennsylvania, Poland took Illinois, Romania got Georgia, Sweden asked for Michigan and Austria asked for Massachusets, Finland got offered Indiana, but picked Arizona, lol etc etc…sooo…do you want Wisconsin, Lithuania? Also: UK guest starring as Canada and Turkey as Mexico lol

      Idaho, the mountainous parts, are nice. Some of the people are nice. But in general, Idaho has some of the most batshit insane stuff happening in it in regards to cults and crazy people. It’s been getting crazier in recent years. They were an absolute mess during the pandemic and needed tons of help from other states who then couldn’t look after locals in need.

        I was trying to be inclusive, because I’m not american and I don’t want to disparage those places I’ve never been to or know that well…but since you say it…rural states sound like a backwater nightmare :/

          Honestly, all they really need are better schools and then about 20-30 years for those kids to become adults. Changes society for the better. Religion is a big chink in people’s armor here. I wouldn’t count 'em out yet, but right now…God fuck there is some crazy shit that goes down there, lol.

          Still, gotta give them credit where credit is due: Idaho was the state that hosted the Sawtooth wolf pack which was a research program that later helped reintroduce the wolves to Yellowstone. This led to a broader effort to restore apex predators across the US, which has restored ecosystems and made the animal populations much more healthy, from the northern US all the way down to the southern US.

          So, while Idaho can sometimes be rather trying, they have given us some pretty good environmental gifts and research.
