Ive always thought of EBRP as little Mississippi, in the sense of how many people hail from Mississippi and came here in search of work, especially in the early 20th century, LP, and Tangi are definitely little Mississippi.
My great grandparents moved here from Mississippi in the 20's so that my great grandfather could go work at Standard Oil.

I’d say yours is more the norm than not. Most people in BR have ties to Mississsippi. My dad’s side does. My mom’s has been here since the 1720’s though.

Mine did the exact opposite around that time. Great grandfather ran seafood factories, so they uprooted to the MS Gulf Coast. Sold the land to Standard Oil. Only problem was that there were so many heirs that the royalty checks were like $14 per person per year.
