I have traveled on 3 continents -- I am always happy to return home. I hope you you are too ... The USA is less fucked up than most places (all the places) I have seen -- more than 10 foreign countries so far and 30 US states. Even state-to-state within the USA there are substantial differences. A US state is like a nation-state in the EU BTW (more or less).
I am sure there are major difference between Moscow and outlying 'republics' in the Russian Federation. Dagestan must be a real shit-hole
I have visited Alabama too LOL. Never been to Mississippi --I'll pass
