New Brunswick, Canada
>Mixed deciduous and evergreen forestation, small pockets of cedar swamps and marsh, blueberry barrens, and a rocky North Atlantic coastline.
>mostly a rural lifestyle based on logging and fishing. No large cities, architecture is predominantly colonial, Victorian/Edwardian, and château style. Poorest province with lowest average household income ($59,000)
>English and French speaking province, high rate of bilingualism, both languages often spoken in unique accent (Anglo Maritime accent and Acadian French accent). Birthplace of Chiac, a mix of French and English (with a touch of Amerindian) that is increasingly common among youth. This area was the heart of Acadia and the Cajuns of America came from here originally. Their food, culture, and music are very similar to ours.
>Province is 95.7% white, almost entirely French and British/Irish and 2.5% Amerindian mostly of the Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik tribes. You could live decade here without ever seeing a black or Asian person and a lifetime without ever seeing an Arab, Indian, Jew, etc. A bit insular as a result, but also one of the safest places anywhere on earth. Mostly old families, a look at the local loyalist cemetery from the late 1700s and a high school yearbook from today would show mostly the same surnames.
