    What is the most American state? Defined as: If a foreign visitor was only allowed to visit one state, from which state would they learn the most about what America is really like?

        Oh see the entire question was prompted by the fact that I've randomly been in Florida a lot lately and I'm pretty sure the answer is Florida.

        Assuming they get to travel all around the state, Illinois. From rural and slightly southern in the south, to industrial in the middle, to Chicago which is an insane mix of nearly everyone.

        I came to say Illinois for all these reasons, but the folks who are saying California make a lot of great points, especially in terms of diverse landscape.

        If they visited the whole state? New York. Urban, suburban, rural. Red. Blue. Farmland. Cosmopolitan. Insular. Coastal. Heartland. Tech, industrial, agrarian. Thriving. Struggling. Pretty. Ugly. Impressive. Depressing. Full of immigrants and oligarchs. (Like a lot of states.)

        Size is missing from your equation. Plenty of visitors have no idea of how much open land there is in America. A state that you can drive across in a few short hours undersells our space

        Virginia. Hard to explain both the North and the South to people but you can do both in one state.

        Plus the urban/rural divide, which is, in my view, becoming more important culturally than the Mason-Dixon Line
