Neko, I've lived in 7 of the 8 areas (not New England). I can see your point about the differences but also agree with Sir Edward that the boundries are soft (in fact they merge & overlap). In addition I have to say that the rural vs. urban (while it does take on the area culture) has a large cultural difference in most of those 7 areas, Ecotopia and The Islands possibly being the least difference but only because they have very little rural area.
One of the major differences, IMO, is the attitude toward gun control and gun ownership. Having guns for hunting just seems logical in rural areas but definitely does not in urban areas. I know that some hunters who live in urban areas will possibly disagree but I think even they would admit guns are not logical in urban areas.
