Will accept "St Paul" but not "Ft Wayne"? I spent the entire quiz thinking that Fort Wayne was somehow smaller than I figured. I'm from Indiana!

this is the region you should be placing South and North Dakota as they are more likely associated with the Midwest in most resources vs. having them in the Northwest like you currently have them. or create a Great Plains region. basically check any geography resource to pull your regions from. otherwise nice quizzes.

why consider ohio, indiana, and illinois in the upper midwest? To me Upper Midwest has always included only the very northernmost parts of those states.
