  • p01ym47h: The US has such a short life that we haven’t filled out the innards of our country as extensively as European countries.  In only the past century and a half these “megaregions” have come into existence as our population ballooned.  They will continue to have massive growth.   I absolutely love this map because it says so much more about our country than any standard state map could.  I also love the biological feel to it — thinking about how these regions will continue to expand like just like bacteria gets me goin!
