It’s long been known by people from Illinois that Chicago is pretty much it’s own state. Anything south of Kankakee is Chicago to us southerners, anything south of Chicago is southern Illinois for Chicagoans.
Just ran accross this map on Neatorama. It’s a represenation of what the U.S. would look like if it were divided into 50 equal population areas. Naturally Chicago is on it’s own. I guess the rest would be called Lincoln.
