Post map of provinces/states that are relevants in your country
>Ohio
Does it really count when we're only important once every four years?
>>61200001
>Michigan
>Relevant
Literally the worst Midwest state behind Illinoy
>>61200062
Idk. I just put it arbitrarily. Cleveland Clinic is kinda famous but Minnesota has equally famous Mayo Clinic then......
>>61200062
We're 7th in terms of GDP. 11,000,000 is a sizeable population
>North Carolina
Hahahah holy shit.
In the following order
Mexico City
Nuevo León
Jalisco
Veracruz
>Victoria
>New South Wales
thats it
>>61200134
Yeah this. Also twin cities are emerging hubs IMO, growing rapidly and has a bunch of corporate headquarters.
>>61200001
>Michigan
>relevant
>>61200951
I mean Detroit is relevant for its crime.
>>61201193
Would you rather be trapped in Okinawa or Hokkaido?
>>61200001
>Illinois
>Georgia
>Ohio
Are we just going by major cities and historical importance?
>>61201282
Hokkaido seems 9001/10 comfy. Read about Sapporo and more importantly the rest of it
>>61200001
I might add Colorad and Oregon, but otherwise perfect list.
>>61201282
hokkaido
>>61201992
Going off climate, people or both?
after washington there's a large drop off
>>61202054

>>61201193
Are Chiba and Saitama shithole?
Going by touristic destinations mostly: http://www.eupedia.com/italy/highlights_italy.shtml
Sorry OP but the world only know and care about the following:
>California
>New York
>Florida
>Texas
>Hawaii
>Alaska
Everything else we consider a mix of swamps, desert and prairie populated by niggers, rednecks and illegal mexicans
>>61202339
Can't ignore other factors as well. Gotta pay respects to your captive Austrians.
>>61202302
they are just suburbs of tokyo
>>61200001
>PA is relevant
>>61202347
>alaska
Really?
>>61202486
What makes them diff from Kanagawa? China and Saitama seems far less relevant than Kanagawa. Is is just Yokohama?
>>61202411
They're stupid poor farmers. Nobody cares about them. Bolzano is the only good thing about South Tyrol and it's majority Italian.
>>61202517
Depends on how somebody's view is skewed. Sailing projections are most common in general geographic knowledge and they respect Alaska's apparent size a lot. If that's all they have to go on.
>>61200001
How is Maryland relevant?
>>61202674
Baltimore and NIH
>Georgia
You mean Atlanta right?
>>61202779
Isn't Georgia outside Atlanta basically Florida panhandle/Alabama tier?
>>61202347
Judging by the number you invade Massachusetts, that is entirely incorrect. Only Florida gets more Brasucas.
>>61202347
It doesn't matter what some retarded favela monkey knows or cares about, the reason the US is an economic powerhouse is because we have so many states contributing to our massive GDP. Take five of those states you don't know or care about and combined they have a greater GDP than your entire country.
>>61202758
How is Baltimore relevant?
>>61202591
in addition, kanagawa also has lots of relevant/popular places like kamakura, fujisawa, shonan, hakone, etc, which have influenced japan in terms of history and modern pop culture
>>61202884
In Massachusetts? Really? Why?
>>61202930
>irrelevant midwesterner so mad
lol ok son, whatever you say
>>61202517
It's easy to locate and eskimos
>>61203113
>In Massachusetts? Really? Why?
Around 1900s (I think) a bunch of Azoreans and Madeirans moved to the Southeast of the state and Rhode Island. The established Portuguese speaking community continued to attract lusophones from mainland Portugal, still does, and more recently Cape Verde and Brazil. My nextdoor neighbors mother is from Cape Verde.

>>61203113
Yes, I live in the midwest. Just Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio alone have a larger GDP than Brazil. That's about 35 million people give or take. Brazil has a a population over 200 million. Do the math you fucking monkey. How does it feel to be less relevant than 3 bumblefuck midwestern US states?
>>61203460
That's genuinely interesting but I don't think that count on relevancy points
>>61203522
I think he's just referring to perhaps how well the state would be known by your countrymen.
>>61200184
Oh, I figured the population was why we were important during election years.
Didn't know about the GDP thing, thats pretty good,
>>61203522
Boston is the worlds biggest center for biotechnology and is a major leader in the advancement of robotics. It's not irrelevant economically.
>>61203507
Top kek
If you care so much about GDP let us compare
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_unidades_federativas_do_Brasil_por_PIB
>São Paulo
>1.708.221.000
If it were an american state it would be the second richest, only losing to California
What's your excuse for your shithole state on the middle of nowhere to be beaten by us?
>>61203666
Boston is relevant, the rest of the state isn't
>>61203737
Maybe their GDP is more than a tight funnel through which a substantial part of the third world is squeezed.
>>61203806
That makes no sense. Boston metro for the most part is the state. Also, how could you possibly consider New York State relevant with out including New York City?
>>61202674
Probably because of all the government agencies and bureaus headquartered there, same reason as to why Virginia would be there
>>61203971
NYC is TOO relevant to take the whole state on its shoulder; It is basically the "center of the world". UN is in there after all
Not the same case for Boston
>>61203737
hmmm where is sao paulo i can't seem to find it
third worlders, when will they learn? enjoy your zika virus.
>>61204363
Wait, Chicago isn't a major financial center? Since when?
>Ill
>Ohio
>NC
>Georgia
>Michigan
>>61204363
Hey no need to be so mad fella
Chicago is important on the USA context, no denying.
But here in SP we only compare ourselves to NY, we don't really care what happens to other minor cities.
I don't even know what there is in Chicago besides a basketball team with a cool mascot
>>61204363
>where is sao paulo i can't seem to find it
Look under "Shithole"
>>61200126
>>61200951
Fuck off, Ohio
>>61203971
Isn't that kind of the point? People outside of the metro get pissy over all the money going to Boston, but Boston is where all the money comes from.
Also, New York State isn't that relevant. New York and the Tristate area is huge. There's a ton of politics due to the massive weight that city has on the rest of the state.
New Jersey is fairly relevant.
>>61204995
>>61204363
Also let's compare crime in 2015, shall we?
>Chicago 18.6 per 100000
>São Paulo 8.73 per 100000
Holy shit, looks like my "third world shithole" isn't that bad after all
Seriously, for a so called first world you should be shameful of yourself
>>61200001
México city+metro área
Jalisco
Nuevo León
The rest is basically desserted wasteland
I like São Paulo and Chicago though.
Why all the fighting?
>>61200001
Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan aren't relevant.
>>61204854
all of those states aside from michigan are top 10 gdp. i don't know what some of you define as relevant, but money is literally everything. no one cares if you have a neat landmark or your city was featured in a tv show.
>>61200001
>>61205335
This. The map is pretty dead on but you're missing New Jersey. NJ has the 8th largest GDP, the 3rd highest per capita income and the 10th highest median income of all the states.
>>61205605
Virginia and Maryland around the DC area though?
>>61204530
Weird, isnt it the third largest City in the usa? I would expect it to be higher
>>61205689
DC may be relevant, but that doesn't make Maryland and Virginia relevant. Most people outside of the US couldn't point to DC on a map anyway.
>>61205737
Higher than the things beating it? Don't see it beating London, for example.
>>61202986
Niggers destroying shit
>>61205335
Only because they suck off NY's tit every chance they get.
>>61205605
How is Pennsylvania not relevant? Is this a joke?
>>61205483
Unfortunately, your third world shithole is even worse than most people could imagine, which they'll be finding out shortly during the Olympics.
>Michigan
>relevant
This isn't the 1950s son
>>61205737
Yeah, and Boston and San Francisco are 10th and 11th in the country and they are the next ones on the list from the US. Never thought of Boston as a finance city and I live in the metro.
>>61205814
Obviously not London, but Boston and San Francisco?
>>61205892
Even with all the history behind the state, people aren't going to be thinking about Pennsylvania when they think of the US. The most relevant thing about Pennsylvania is that it's next to New York.
>>61205894
Yeah, Rio is kinda of a shithole, I have to agree with you. Good thing I'm not from there. Fuck those fags.
>>61203113
7-1 Joao
>>61200001
Georgia, the Carolinas, and Maryland should not be in there
>>61200001
BC, Ontario, Quebec
Alberta to a lesser extent.
>>61205766
Only relevant because of the federal government.
>Maryland
>Social Security Administration
>NSA
>IRS
>FDA
>Virginia
>DOD
>CIA
>DEA
>TSA
New York, California, Texas, Florida, Washington, New Jersey
plus a few cities
it took me 5 minutes are you proud /int/ ?
>>61205926
Both cities have federal reserve banks in them
>>61206127
>Washington
I hope you mean DC and not the fucking Washington state.
>New Jersey
lmao
>>61206143
Didn't get Ontario
Also why is the Pacific part of north america so liberal?
>>61206164
So does Chicago.
>>61206143
you forgot the only good part of Canada: the Maritimes
Once again, no one has said what criteria we're judging states by.
>>61202068
If we're to go on GDP, these are the numbers, the only question is, what is the cut-off?
Otherwise, I can't imagine what sort of intangible quality you're using to determine "relevance".
>>61200062
This
>>61200134
>Idk. I just put it arbitrarily. Cleveland Clinic is kinda famous
Cleveland here in a few years our entire city will be a giant hospital campus, everyone will work for it and they will pay us in prostate exams, halp!
>>61206143
Yukon has great scenery
>>61200062
There's the rock and roll hall of fame, and that's pretty much it
What is Georgia and Ohio relevant for?
Or Washington.
Seems like if those guys are important Alabama would be too given it's such a huge chunk of the Aerospace industry.
>Florida is the biggest laughing stock in the country
>Also the fourth largest state and one of the biggest contributors to our national economy
I'm not sure how to feel about this.
>>61205605
You are a fucking idiot. Georgia, NC, Virginia, Ohio and PA are all in the top 10 largest state GDPs. Michigan and Maryland are the 13th and 15th largest, respectively. Go back to /pol/, that's where people like you belong.
>>61200062
7th in GDP
7th in population
5th in Fortune 500 companies (after New York, Texas, California and Illinois)
That's pretty relevant.
>>61206593
Too bad relevance isn't measured in tourist traps.
>>61206682
>GDPs
Cool meme. That still doesn't change the fact that most people wouldn't be able to point those states out on a map.
>>61206749
Not him but you're confusing "relevant" and "famous". Hawaii is famous. Hawaii however is completely irrelevant other than for military bases.
>>61202068
>Texas GDP actually decreased
Good
t. californian
>>61204995
Chicago has the largest derivatives, futures and options exchanges in the world and is the logistical hub of the western hemisphere. It serves as the clearing house for a big chunk of the world's GDP.
>>61205483
>Trusting Brazilian crime stats
Nah. Also that's murder. Sao Paulo still has outrageous rates of assault and robbery.
>>61206682
T-thank you for mentioning me senpai
>>61206833
Oil?
>>61206816
Hawaii gets enough tourism and has been represented enough in the media (i.e. surfer culture) that it can be considered relevant. The fact it isn't attached to the mainland just makes it more distinguishable.
>>61200197
Raliegh is one of the fastest growing cities in the US
>>61205737
>>61204530
Security and commodity exchanges aren't really counted as part of the financial and banking sector usually so that's why there's a gap.
The CME Group bought the DJIA in 2010, to give you an idea of the size of that industry in Chicago.
>>61206969
Once again, you're confusing fame with relevance.
>>61206969
But that's more popular culture relevancy then economical and influential relevancy.
Maybe OP could have specified more clearly but from his picture he's obviously talking about the latter.
.
>>61206654
Georgia has the HQs of Coca Cola, UPS and Delta Airlines. Hugr service economy. Atlanta Int'l Airport is the busiest in the world.
Ohio has tons of colleges, a huge healthcare and biomedical industry and a large manufacturing sector (rubber, plastics, fabricated metals and electrical components). Ohio would be slightly behind Sweden in terms of GDP if it were its own country.
>>61200001
What makes Washington important?
>>61207198
I didn't actually realize that about Ohio. I knew Georgia was pretty much just a service economy but I didn't realize how big it was.
Still what's Washington got going on? I thought it was just lumberjacks and modern art students who do a lot of fishing.
>>61206654
Ohio has 23 Fortune 500 companies. Alabama has one.
>>61207374
We have Microsoft, Starbucks, Settle, and Amazon to name a few.
We're also notable for music, technology, and environment.
>>61206654
Alabama is there because of politics. Too many voters that need jobs because there isn't shit in Alabama.
>>61207488
Wait Microsoft is in Washington? I thought they were in Cali.
Eh shows how much I know.
>>61207539
Aerospace is in Alabama because Von Braun said he liked Alabama and wasn't going to move. If he'd left like the government wanted it'd probably be the poorest state in the Union but it's come a long way in 50 years because of the rocket program.
How is Jersey not relevant? It's far more relevant than Georgia, NC, and Virginia. And you have Maryland on here, what the fuck?
>>61207592
It has offices in Cali, Oregon, and Washington, it started in Washington and Bill Gates lives here so we consider it a Washington company.
>>61207632
Half of the federal government agencies are in Maryland and Virginia, faggot.
>>61207198
Ohio's GDP is $1billion more than Jersey, there is no difference. BUT, Jersey is #8 in terms of GDP/capita and Ohio is 34.
>>61207592
Alabama is still better than most countries in the world, but compared to other states in the US it is lagging.
Are there even any important people from Alabama other than MLK?
>>61207797
It's getting better all the time but yeah it's pretty much entirely reliant on manufacturing, and if those jobs ever leave Alabama is fucked because it doesn't even have much of a service industry and there's nothing super notable to draw in tourists.
>>61207703
So what? How are they relevant?
Top 5:
1 - New York
2 - Texas
3 - California
4 - Florida
5 - New Jersey
Everybody in the world knows these states. Ask someone in Europe what state Chicago is in and they will not know. Ask someone in Asia to point to Maryland on a map. Ask an Australian what they know about Virginia and they'll say,
>ya mean ya mum before I popped her membrane and made you?
>>61207970
>5. New Jersey
Literally what the hell is in New Jersey other than the biggest shithole in America (Camden) and a bunch of guidos?
>>61208018
the fact everyone knows about it!
its famous
every single person has something to say about jersey even YOU are spouting a bunch of memes in your post about it.
>>61207970
Negro Michigan is pretty well if only for the lake and General Motors
>>61207848
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ILDFp5DGA
>>61207883
Alabama gets to compete with Florida on tourism, Texas on oil and manufacturing, and Georgia for everything else.
You guys aren't so bad though.
>>61201193
>>61208175
It's not that bad, no, and like I said it is getting better, but well there's a reason our unofficial slogan is Thank God for Mississippi after all.
>>61208053
Yeah, everyone knows about it because New Yorkers laugh about it. That's literally your only claim to fame, being close to New York.
>>61207308
Microsoft and Amazon i.e. Seattle
>>61207174
>economical and influential relevancy.
That was what i said
>>61200001
>including North Carolina but not Oregon
Dumb map
>>61203460
Oh man, those Germans are surrounding the Poles again.
>>61208426
Oregon is a literally who state.
>>61207970
Virginia is actually famous among Koreans and other Asians. Esp. Fairfax and other NOVA because of good school districts
>>61208523
>tfw i'm from Virginia, the most relevent state
>tfw i'm from NOVA, the most relevant part of virginia
feels good man
>>61203460

I guess the cut off for relevancy is Colorado
>>61200126
Sounds like someones from Wisconsin...
>>61209250
>3 Kansas, Massachusetts and Oregon
That's Rhode Island not Mass. Mass has 12 companies and is unlabeled on the map. Soon it will get GE from Connecticut and be up to 13 with 1 in the top 10.
>>61205483
Dude, you kidding? A bunch if that crime goes fucking unreported.
>>61200001
>Massachusetts
As a resident of said state, no, and stay the fuck out.
>>61200001
>Washington
>being relevant
Only relevant thing about this place is fucking Seattle and you know it.
Also, for anyone that want to come here, stay out. Theres a bunch of jackasses and racist people.
>>61200001
>Florida
Only relevant for being Absolute Madmen
>>61202862
South Georgia yes, though not exactly panhandle florida but yes
North Georgia is basically just Tennessee
>>61209250
>Florida
lol what? Florida, California, and Texas are the three most relevant states
>>61202347
Literally who cares what you think, you impoverished, third-world nigger?
>>61210144
The only relevant thing in Illinois is Chicago, and it's still on the list. Washington's the fourth largest exporter among states.
Airplanes, man.
>>61208053
>everyone knows about it
Since when?
>>61208124
Alberta should be on there because oil imo
