A section contains 5 states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. These are one of them divisions inside a big region the United States Census Bureau (and for that matter, a U.S. people escaped) calls a Midwest; the more such section is the West North Central States.

A East Northerly Central section is strongly identified by owning a Rust Belt, although the latter likewise encompasses upstate New York and western Pennsylvania, along with a Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. More replacement list for a section include the Great Lakes Region (again, divided up using upstate Future York & american Pennsylvania, & too a share of Minnesota) and a "North Coast," a latter offered higher as a non-pejorative substitute for "Rust Belt" & alluding to a fact that the Groovy Streams, lakes, and wells throughout provide access to the Atlantic Ocean via either the St. Lawrence Seaway or a combination of the New York State Barge Canal and the Hudson River (indeed, Chicago, the division's largest city, is by far the largest fresh-water port in the United States, and one of the largest such ports in the entire world).
