How Californians view the rest of the country.

This is brilliant.

As a native Californian, this magpie has to disagree with two things on the map:

1) 'Back East' includes both state 9 (the Great Plains and Midwest) and state 13 (most everything east of the Appalachians). Californians are extremely fuzzy about the location of anything east of the Rockies. When we were about to move to Minnesota from California, we noticed that our friends thought Minnesota was located anywhere from Missouri to Michigan. (Yes, the 'M' state problem.)

2) There should be states for Baja California and Canada. Many Californians are not entirely certain that these places are not part of the US.
