There is a place in America that to many is but a hopeful fantasy: it is a place where public school students are competitive with Hong Kong and Singapore; it is a place burgeoning with the world's leading libraries, universities, and researchers; where the poor can attend a world-class college without paying dime in tuition; where the people are hearty and healthy, and obesity stabilized or on the decline; where education and acculturation are class signifiers, not money and material possessions; where it is possible to live in a compact town with everything in walking distance; where nature is so treasured it became revered by poets and philosophers who influenced the likes of people as different as Nietzsche and Gandhi; where medical care is without parallel and easily accessible; where the economies are mixed and diverse, ranging from fishing to robotics and biological engineering; where politics is local and where civics is religion; and which in many respects resembles Northern European social democracy. It's called New England.

Believe it or not even in Poo in the Loo Pajeetland and Ching Chong China, students are in fact more competitive than those in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Educate me, what exactly is the definition of New England. Different people include a different set of states in it. Sometimes people include New York in it. Is there a solid definition?

It's probably the best-defined region in the US. It's exactly the red states in your pic.

Massachusetts/Boston are shitholes, t. studying here

That's all of New England in the traditional sense, New York is consider mid-Atlantic although the north east of New York is almost identical to New England's rural areas.

That is a funny way to spell Orange County
>>68416094
It's literally the only US region with a solid definition
It has always been Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticunt for as long as those states have existed

New York wasn't New England, it has New Holland.

Shut up, Boston is cute
Maine and NH are top tier, everything else in NE go fuck yourself
>>68416233
Maine and NH are entirely dependent protectorates of Massachusetts, and our preferred destinations for cigarettes and antique shopping
