First I would like to get a few suggestions as to what the divisions should be. Please use this map as your sketch pad.
Now, divide up the US so that there is balanced regions. THere are states that can go either way so I want some input. Louisiana and Arkansas could easily be included or left out of the sourth east. Kentucky seems like a south eastern state but goes more readily with Indiana. We don't want a region to cover too much area due to lack of participation by those too far apart.
Let's see what you guys have got!
