    I get that this is basically a politcal compass meme overlayed on a map (and also that this is in cartography anarchy), but here’s how I’d actually divide things up based on basically 0 practical experience:

    Acts nice, is nice: West Coast (WA, OR, CA, HI) (WA might have to move down to the next category if they’re feeling surly)

    Acts mean, is nice: Northeast (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DE)

    Acts nice, is mean: Southeast (AR, LA, KY, TN, MS, AL, WV, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL), Midwest (ND, SD, NE, KS, MN, IA, MO, WI, IL, MI, IN, OH), and Alaska

    Acts mean, is mean: The rest (ID, MT, WY, NV, UT, CO, AZ, NM, OK, TX)

    “Acts nice, is mean” still makes up a large part of the country, but “Acts mean, is mean” has been trending up for about a decade now.
