I've coloured in regions that don't fit in a "North/Soth" model in grey. The country I'm most unsure about is the US--using the Maxon-Dixon Line places Washington DC in the American South, which just doesn't feel right. However, any other definition I found was completely sentimental and objective, not good for an informative quiz.

Maharashtra is usually considered a part of the North.

Otherwise great quiz (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Thanks! Was going to put Maharashtra in the North originally due to language similarities, but I couldn't find it included on the Wikipedia page.

For Providence, RI, I tried Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven. I thought it couldn't possibly be in Rhode Island. I gave up and what I saw? Providence!

America is surprisingly hard in this quiz!
