The only region of the United States that actually has four seasons. We New Englanders are ready for anything!

Everyone thinks of New England as the most stuck-up and rudest people in all of the US..then why was New Hampshire voted as the most livable state in 2005? Don't judge New England before you've spent time or lived here, it's awesome.

Just like the song says, it really is the spirit of America. Beautiful country, great schools, great food, rich history, intelligent people. Not to mention real weather. New England has everything, from oceans to mountains to lakes to countryside to cities. Best sports teams too. I mean there is a damn good reason why you New York bastards flock up here every year like seagulls to breadcrumbs.

People hate us because are the last remaining bit of what America was founded on.

New England? Nah, more like Old America...

The best damn region in the country. With the best damn football team, the best damn baseball team..and a hockey team and a basketball team. Cold as hell place here only the strongest men can survive and the weak cry.

The six north-easternmost American states, located north and west of New York (north of Long Island, which is part of NY). Historically, eastern New York is occasionally included as part of New England (Vermont was actually part of NY at one point), but today it consists of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

The six greatest states in the country. In the New England states, you will deal with fewer rednecks and far less ignorance, as most of the ivy league schools can be found here. The vacation spots are unbeatable and most people dress decent. In the fall, the foliage is a major tourist attraction. During the winter months, people visit to stay in lodges or ski. In the spring and summer, the beaches are crowded and the small towns earn the most money by housing all of the vacationers who decide to stay at Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Each state has its own perks... Oh yeah, did I mention that the Patriots are better than any other team?

Massachusetts and Friends

If the stereotypes are to be believed, then it is the land of the socialized psychopaths. According to stereotypes, the people are:
-apathetic/coldly aloof/callous
-narcissistic/arrogant/self absorbed
-shallowly charismatic/good enough at faking to get rich
-well schooled/intelligent/smart enough to get what they want
-manipulative
-deceitful
-bad drivers/impulsive drivers

However, though there are no doubt people in the region who fit such a description, there is a silent majority who are pretty good people. Some of them are just so unused to energetic or very happy personalities that they regard them with suspicion, and are uncomfortable with very friendly strangers. They warm up to a person after a while, though, when they grow use to or comfortable with them. Also, not everyone there is rich, liberal, preppy, and/or has gone to private schools. Most New Englanders that I have met live in single story (2 if you count the attic) houses on 1/4 or maybe 1/3 an acre of land, go to public school, don't give a damn about politics, and are annoyed by preps. "Wicked" as a substitute for very is common, though, as rumored.

The six northeastern states in the United States (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) where they are excessively preoccupied with issues of adequacy, power and prestige only because they are dominated by private schools including Harvard and Yale. Full of rich democrats who believe in nothing but world peace.
