Ohio

I've been to well over 30 states (it's been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year

I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren't known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we're balanced enough to be a swing state. A flag that's more recognizable than plain blue with a hard to see logo in the center.

Ohio might be mid, but that isn't always a bad thing
