If I was making the definition, I would exclude Great Plains states and Missouri.
Well, the US Government defines it differently. If I were to argue, I'd say Ohio is way less Midwestern than Kansas. But, I'll go with the official ruling from the census.
No, I'm talking about small populations, not small geographic areas. You seem to have a disdain for small towns and small population states. I don't really care either way, just making an observation you clearly aren't a fan of small towns and small states and would never live anywhere like that based on previous posts I've seen from you.Kansas is the 15th largest state.
