Ask Wasty; Pawaii and the San Furnando Territory.

 

WT: Pawaii I think would be technically its own region, due to distance making it financially prohibitive (At least when it was 'founded') to have an easy system to share resources and wealth with the Sanfurnando and Mesa Valley Regions. I also imagine that the natives of the area would want to retain some form of independent autonomy like many of the other regions in the NMU. As I've mentioned before the NMU is sort of a hodgepodge of...cultural enclaves thanks to the spread of different dominant native and non-native species. So aside from state-level autonomy of legislation, which is akin to the modern American state dynamic, you also have a different priority of legislation in regard to regions, as well as vast cultural differences.

Not to say that any region is culturally, or societally backward, they all hold advanced, contemporary cities that are on par with what one would expect of a modern, civilized society. But obviously the 'Bison Territories' are going to prioritize different laws and rights, as well as have a distinct cultural flavor baked into everything when compared to say 'United New Kingland".

As for the San Furnando Territories, for all intents and purposes, it is primarily the very densely populated Southern California region including San Francisgoat, Los Angoralis, and Howlywood. One could argue it includes a bit of Arizona, but in terms of Zoning in this universe, it would all be considered Southern Cowlifornia, or rather, we'll just refer to it as 'Cowlifornia', whereas what would be 'Northern Cowlifornia' in the Mesa Valley Region would be called 'Jeffurson' after the very real proposed partition of California that was once proposed.
