Ironic that that the nation closest to industrialized nation levels is S Africa due to inheriting a power system built during the apartheid era.

Meanwhile, Western NGOs are busy promoting wind and solar instead of conventional power to African governments of resource rich nations.

Accurate for the southeastern quadrant. Picking out the Floridian subregions and Acadiana is remarkable and the first time I have seen this in print.

It's original inspiration is the map that accompanies American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard (Penguin Books, 2012) but modified and improved by the addition of colour and to include coverage of Canada and the Caribbean.
