For some reason they've split Metro Atlanta in two, which makes absolutely no sense. I move half a mile down the road, I'm in Greater Appalachia instead of the Deep South.

People in Metro Atlanta don't identify with Appalachia more than they do with "The South", and the northern half of Metro Atlanta definitely didn't side with the Union in the Civil War (which is what the blurb about Greater Appalachia says).

Obviously non-geographic borders are going to be a bit arbitrary, but splitting a major population center like this is particularly bad.




Any idea how this was actually mapped? It looks like census tracts.


It appears to be broken down by counties, I assume. At least, those are the divisions in the New England states.
