Which state is most Midwestern?

My vote is for Indiana. But Iowa is certainly 1B

It can’t be Minnesota, too becuase liberal and too lakey.
It can’t be Wisconsin, because too drunk.
It can’t be Illinois, because big city Chicago.
It can’t be Kansas or Nebraska, because too cringey.
It can’t be the Dakotas, because the dakotas.
It can’t be Missouri or Kentucky, because SEC
Michigan is too stoned and Ohio is full of ********.

Minnesotans are damn nice and normal.

Williams & Blum: Congress vs. College Sports, Momcilovic Gone & Texas Tech Fires Back

Which state is most Midwestern?

Minneapolis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Omaha, Des Moines, and Sioux Falls are the most Midwest feeling cities.

Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Duluth, Detroit, and Cleveland are all Great Lakes cities which make them feel different than the Midwest in a variety of ways. St. Louis, Louisville, and Cincinnati are all a combination of Midwest and Southern.

You go much farther north from Minneapolis and it doesn't feel like the Midwest anymore. You start to go west from Sioux Falls, Omaha, or Kansas City and it doesn't take that long to feel like you are out of the Midwest. And if you go south or east from Indianapolis you get outside the Midwest.

View attachment 171225This would be my rough map for places that feel distinctly Midwestern. An actual map wouldn't have quite as smooth of lines and would have a few places cut out. If nothing else Iowa is definitely the only wholly Midwestern state. Now if you wanted to argue about if the southern half of Minnesota is the most Midwestern place or if Kansas City is the most Midwestern big city or if large parts of Illinois or Indiana are the most Midwestern places, those are arguments that can be reasonably had.
I’d agree with your first list, but I would drop Minneapolis off of the Midwest feel.
