Neither is the midwest. Turn a map upside down and notice just how "east" the Midwest actually is. The "center of gravity" so-to-speak, of the USA is likely near the Kansas/Colorado border.

Texas is large enough that it's just Texas. It also does a great job of separating the Southwest (New Mexico) from the Southeast (Louisiana).

People who say "Nova" are funny. Y'all have such a superiority complex wrt the rest of Virginia. I haven't been to the state since 1983 and I realize "NOVA" is basically booming and an extension of D.C. but it's always cute when people are so quick to point out they don't actually live in Virginia. It's NOVA, yo.

Missouri isn't very flat. Many areas of large forests and hills. It is definitely not planar. Illinois might be flatter.
Missouri is not flat. It is significantly wavier than Illinois, which is almost entirely flat. Northern Missouri, once you get away from the Ozark Mountains, and closer to Iowa, is probably pretty flat, though. Mouse-over Google Earth to get a decent idea of the elevation and change in elevation that occurs in Missouri.

Again with the "Nova" crap. Down here in Houston I had a guy on my baseball team who told me he moved here from "NOVA" like I knew wtf that meant. We're like a thousand miles from there. He was also short, balding in his mid-'20s, and a complete *******. He was originally from NYC.
