Where you live in the United States determines a hell of a lot more than whether “coke” means Coca-Cola or “every single carbonated beverage.” It can also mean the difference between sauce on your pizza or nothing, the difference between honor killings or, uh, not honor killings, the difference between a time machine and an … ATM? Yep. But, it goes deeper than how you pronounce “ruin” and “grocery” or whether you call toilet-papering a house “TPing” or “rolling” a house. It may be that we aren’t all even living in the same nation.

On today’s podcast Cracked editors Jack O’Brien, Kristi Harrison and Jason Pargin discuss America’s crazy regional differences, and talk with Colin Woodard (author of ‘American Nations’) about his claim that the fifty American states are actually eleven distinct nations. Whether the land you live on was conquered by Spain (Florida), France (Louisiana), stuffy British slave lords (the South) or Braveheart (Appalachia) determines how you view the government, law and so much more.
