I know you cannot buy ammo with an out of state license when I went duck hunting there a few years back.

Does it …? Exactly where?
The area around Peoria and the Illinois River is nice. Extreme southern Illinois isn't terrible either. I would never live in Illinois again but I wouldn't say the entire state is ugly.

Could easily relabel that map "Illinois Demographic Map"

Illinois has some beautiful countryside

no love for IL and I actively loathe Shitcago and thankfully don't have to travel there on business as frequently as I used to .... but that graphic is very nice, would like to see a site to generate similar

If their fatass billionaire governor gets any fatter there won’t be room for anyone.

The problem is you have Chicago, run by the teachers union and the democrats, then Rockford and East Saint Louis, each a sparkling double for Jackson MS, and then otherwise a state full of hard working republicans. Many of which are trying to get out to Indiana, Missouri, etc... but its not always that easy.

Corn fields everywhere in northern Illinois once you get outside of Chicago and its suburbs.

Don’t lump Oklahoma into the “boring topography” conversation. Sure west of 35 isn’t much but east of 35 is really nice. Eastern Oklahoma is criminally underrated. It’s basically just an extension of Western Arkansas

No, but I think about the Roman Empire a lot.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. Specifically - why do people outside of Chicago live in Illinois near the border? What's the difference between these places and the rural communities just across the border in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, etc.?
Your life revolves around a crappy shack of a house, the local midwestern church, shopping at Dollar General and starring at vast, flat fields of nothingness. If that's your cup of tea, why not move 10 miles and do that in a state where you don't get taxed 3x as much and aren't governed by insane people who hate you and see it as their purpose in life to destroy you and everything you hold dear?
That just makes no sense to me. People in New England and California are kind of stuck with the congruence of regional culture and geography. It's either leave the motherland or accept it as a cost of business. There's nowhere close to go. But Chicago is literally an oasis of insanity surrounded by traditional flyover values.
I guess if you're a farmer you kind of have to stay where the plot of dirt you inherited is. But what about all of the other people? What the hell are they still doing there?

Sometimes you wake up in the morning and ask, " you know, I'm really curious about population distributions in Illinois...."

Southern Illinois is the eastern most edge of the Ozark Plateau. It's hilly and has some nice scenery and a lot of local vineyards. The area s from Carbondale, south and west can be pretty rugged. Good hunting country. Not a lot of people though.

That’s a GOOD thing. There’s got to be places we can go to get away from all these fricking people

The deer hunting would almost be worth it.
it's just as good with much better country in Wisconsin (think: forests and thousands of lakes) which is purple most of the time and red occasionally.
Fun fact: the ~600,000 deer hunters in Wisconsin each year would comprise the 8th largest army in the world. All those guns and rarely a shooting death. Funny how that works. They should organize and overthrow the neo-progressives across the river in Minnesota.
