Yeah, to some degree. Things arn't TOTALLY different between states, but
you DO
experience a bit of culture shock when you travel through the U.S. I
would figure
that the south-east would have a flag that would incorporate elements of
the old
Confederate flag (maybe the 'Stars and Bars' version).

In an early Dirtside campaign, my group played a Second Secession War
scenario set
that featured the "Southern Alliance" (an alliance of south-eastern
states which
opposed the central government). The Alliance used the old Confederate
flag (white
field with a red St. Andrew's Cross in the upper right hand corner)
during the
war. The campaign ended with the Alliance joining the Anglican
Confederation
fairly intact (with its own government). I played the Brits/Union force,
and was
fought to a draw during the Battle of Nashville (hey, those #$!#$ rebs
forced me
into a city fight! ; )
