* '''Northeast:''' By far the most populous and urbanized region, this is where you'll find UsefulNotes/{{Cleveland}} along with the smaller metropolises of Akron, Canton, and Youngstown (the former two cities are included in Cleveland's CSA and TV market, while the latter is its own metro area and TV market). Akron is the "Rubber Capital" of America, as Firestone and Goodyear both got their start here, forming the backbone of the city's industrial base. Both companies have long since moved manufacturing elsewhere, though Goodyear's corporate headquarters is still here. Even though Cleveland and Akron are technically separate metro areas, they're less than an hour apart and close enough to effectively function as one, not unlike UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC and UsefulNotes/{{Baltimore}} (in fact a number of hotels in northern Summit County identify as being in the Cleveland area rather than the Akron area despite being in the same county as the latter city, this also occurs for a number of hotels in Streetsboro, located in Portage County, which is also technically in the Akron MSA which as mentioned above is in the Cleveland CSA). Then there's Canton, where in 1920, a handful of semi-professional football teams from all over Ohio (and one from Illinois) met to form the American Professional Football Association, now known as the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague NFL]]. The Pro Football Hall of Fame & Museum is in Canton for this reason, and the city hosts the NFL's annual preseason Hall of Fame Game. As for Youngstown, it used to be a steel town until the abrupt closure of Youngstown Sheet and Tube in 1977, which laid off 5,000 workers and cost the city an additional 400 satellite businesses and 35,000 manufacturing jobs connected to ''them'', an event known locally as "Black Monday." Since then, the city has been trying to rebrand itself as a college town since it isn't known for much else these days other than crippling poverty and the crime that comes with it. Northeast Ohio, much like neighboring UsefulNotes/{{Pennsylvania}}, is also notorious for getting loads of snow in the winter thanks to Lake Erie's effect on the weather. The "Snow Belt" starts around here and extends to Buffalo, UsefulNotes/{{New York|State}}.

Ohio, the Buckeye State,[[note]]Named after a nut-bearing tree native to Ohio. The nuts are poisonous, but "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye_candy buckeye candy]]"--chocolate-covered balls of peanut butter--are a favorite local confection.[[/note]] is the seventh-most populous state in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, and is often stereotyped as boring, rural farm country. This isn't a total lie--there is at least one working farm in all 88 counties--but it's not the whole truth either. With over 11 million people, Ohio is the densest state outside the Atlantic coast. It has six cities of 100,000 or more; three of which--the "Big C's" Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland--have metro areas in the millions. As such, Ohio is more diverse in people and belief than most outsiders realize.

* '''Southeast:''' Welcome to Coal Country. Sparsely populated, Southeast Ohio lacks an urban presence other than the college town of Athens. It is part of the larger UsefulNotes/{{Appalachia}} region and culturally has more in common with neighboring West Virginia than the rest of Ohio. Mining, natural gas, and lumbering are the order of the day. Unlike much of rural Ohio, this area was historically a Democratic stronghold thanks to the strength of the miners' unions, though clashes between the labor and environmentalist wings of the Democratic Party have pushed it (along with much of Appalachia) into the Republican camp. The region is also known for its beautiful scenery, as it is the only part of Ohio to avert TheMountainsOfIllinois trope (as most of the rest of Ohio was flattened by glaciers). Hiking, hunting, and camping are popular here.

The region is also known for its beautiful scenery, as it is the only part of Ohio to avert TheMountainsOfIllinois trope (as most of the rest of Ohio was flattened by glaciers). Hiking, hunting, and camping are popular here.

* '''Northwest:''' Home of UsefulNotes/{{Toledo|Ohio}}--a war was fought with neighboring UsefulNotes/{{Michigan}} over the territory[[note]]although there wasn't much actual fighting; the only recorded military confrontation had a lot of ATeamFiring and zero injuries, and the only casualty of the "Toledo War" was a Michigan deputy who was stabbed non-fatally by an Ohioan in an earlier incident[[/note]]. From this is born a rivalry between two universities -- ''[[InsistentTerminology The]]'' [[UsefulNotes/CollegiateAmericanFootballPower5Conferences Ohio State University and the University of Michigan]] -- and two states [[note]]as Ohioans say, "We don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan..." to the tune of "The Old Gray Mare." Michiganders reply "Fuck Ohio", deeming Ohio unworthy of a song, and also recognizing that Michigan has two top-rank state colleges, as opposed to Ohio's one.[[/note]]. You'll also find some popular summer getaways here like Cedar Point, generally considered the best amusement park in the country, sometimes the world. If you're more interested in thrills than theming, forget Disney World, this place puts it to '''shame'''. There's also Kelley's Island, a popular island and resort town in Lake Erie. Fans of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' may be interested to know that Lima is located in this region as well, though the real city is unsurprisingly nothing like on the show ([[CaliforniaDoubling there are no palm trees, for starters]]). Has a tendency to have very wet summers, as it was formerly known as the Black Swamp and had to be drained by ditches and canals before it could be settled en masse.
