Another bump for info, would appreciate any that can be provided.

And yes, this thread was posted earlier but I'm still interested in any theoretical approaches you may know of.

Cascadia is a huge fucking meme. The people there are identical to the surrounding states and/or provinces. It has no regional identity such as New England, Texas, Louisiana, Maritimes, Quebec, Minnesota, Appalachians, etc. I've been there and it just feels like any other generic state.

I can't see anything to suggest Cascadians have a national identity over than a geographical situation.
Economically, the Cascadians would have a very high standard of living.
Socially, the Cascadians all speak English and live in places where whites represent at least 90% of the population.

More importantly, almost all the so called culture of cascadia is exclusively a city thing that everyone not living in Portland, Seattle or Vancouver hates

Is Cascadia even a geographical region or is it more or less arbitrary?

It's based on watersheds and river basins, I believe.

Bio-regionalism

Wouldn'ty it be possible to say they have a regional identity based on natural resources and the desire to assert local control over them? Are resource-based identities something that has occurred throughout history?

They've never been the target of foreign exploitation, control has been in the hands of what is essentially their own nations

All regional identities in America are a meme, the difference is all rural vs urban. Someone in Cleveland is more similar to someone in Denver than to someone in rural Ohio.
