When you ask an American where they live, you may be told the region they are from. Many of the regions overlap, the boundaries can be confusing, and some states actually lie in several regions. Many regions have a distinct cultural flavor and identity that makes that area of the United States a little different from other areas. The U.S. government has official regions, but the regions as defined by the people don’t always agree with the Government’s definition.
