The one thing that this overlay is making me realise is that there are actually some parallels here. The North and Midwest kind of seem the same type of people, same with the UK being the northwest, Iberia basically being California/Nevada and Italy being a spaghetti western country with far right tendencies.
Italy is more like california I think. Spain is a lot poorer. Greece is like lousiana maybe, spain could be like the texas gulf coast maybe. Central Europe is not unlike the upper midwest in the industrial heartland. Western Europe like the northeast corridor in the US.
California's economy ranks somewhere between the UK and Germany.
Texas would be somewhere between France and Italy.
