The countries are all huge. They are more alike one another at their borders than they are similar to themselves throughout.
The same applies to Germany and Austria, which aren't that huge
It isn't always about the size.
so for example, Ontario is similar to Oklahoma and Coahuila is similar to Texas, that would be a new point of view!!
No I mean people in Vancouver and people in Nova Scotia are more culturally distinct than Nova Scotians and folks from Maine.
Same applies to Mexicali and Calexico. Very similar. But Mexicali isn't a whole lot like Savanah Georgia.
Space separates culture more effectively than invisible lines.
You know Oklahoma doesn't border Canada right?
Not yet!
I know but Oklahoma gives me that vibe, it sounds like a Canadian place, I love Oklahoma of course.
I'm really confused by what metric Oklahoma gives off a Canadian vibe other than the name sounding like it according to you. It most likely sounds like it to you because it is a Native American word.
