Cool. I'm curious, what kinds of things were done to raise awareness? I come from a very small state, so the idea of regions possessing greater cultural affinity and trade within those soft boundaries has always been present in my experience. I've often encountered people that do think that the US is much more homogeneous than it is, but mostly outside of the country. For a country as large as the US is, I think that barriers of transportation would have to be seriously degraded for a more uniform culture to emerge.The first step, of course, is to get the rest of the country on board with the thought that America isn't as homogenous as people are led to believe.
