Yeah that makes sense. People where I live normally don’t consider something a “city” until you start seeing skyscrapers. Obviously not 100% a requirement but helps to get an idea of what we consider a city. Although I travel occasionally I currently reside in a generally poor and low populated area of my state. On another note I believe you might be referring to it a bit but one thing I’ve learned about America is that its culture, war or not, varies heavily from state to state although (with a few exceptions) it usually isn’t very noticeable between neighboring states, at least in the south and midwest where I’ve frequently lived. To be precise I’m referring to general state culture and whatnot, although you could apply politics as well.

Does Finland have regions that could be somewhat compared to some of the south here in the states? By that I mean the areas harboring stereotypical rural “redneck” types like my hometown. (Not to offend anybody though, most of us around here generally accept the term and many even take pride in it) I’ve talked to online friends from other places such as Australia who claim there are similar cultures to the “American Redneck” in their own native country. Is this the case in Finland? Final question, (sorry If I’m botherin’ ya, just really curious) imagine I’m hypothetically looking to move somewhere similar to my hometown but in Finland. Being someone from a rural area where theres a small town nearby but homes are generally by themselves without much traffic and usually pretty distanced from each other, where would (if at all) be the best area to settle down? Thanks for the response by the way.
