i've had to work with a number of people located in the south, and in general i've found most of them to be even more passive aggressive than people from the PNW....these are just corporate types...maybe that kind of work attracts them.
the state i love to think of as of late is Alaska. where all the people who didn't fit in down here went. i was just up there in the SE, it was so nice I forgot to think about what type of people might live up there or typify them in anyway. though i did get in an traffic accident on an island with only 5 miles of paved road...t-boned by a nice 95 year old gentleman.
