The United States prides itself on being a union of independent states, each with their own unique reputation, personality, and aesthetic.

After seeing an excellent poll that asked Europeans what they thought of other European countries, we talked to our polling partner SurveyMonkey Audience to expand the questions and try it on Americans, to see how they felt about other states.

The results were hilarious, informative and tell you everything you need to know about the dynamic between the states.

We asked respondents — 1603 of them — to answer each question with a state that wasn't their own. The poll was carried out using SurveyMonkey's Audience feature, which was more accurate predicting the 2012 election than numerous traditional pollsters.

The following maps show that data. Look under each map for details when it comes to the color scale. The darkest color had the highest number of votes, the whitest color had next to none.

Massachusetts has the weirdest accent. Trailing close behind are Louisiana, Alabama, Minnesota, New York and New Jersey.

Max: Massachusetts, 264 of 1603 votes, 16% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



New York scored around 20% of the vote for best food. California and Louisiana get honorable mentions.

Max: New York, 305 of 1603 votes, 19% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Hey Alaska, the rest of America thinks your food sucks.

Max: Alaska, 85 of 1603 votes, 5% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Besides their own state, people had the highest opinion of California. Colorado is also pretty popular.

Max: California, 194 of 1581, 12% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



That's what you get, Texas, for always pulling the "We can leave America whenever we feel like it" card.

Max: Texas, 167 of 1581 votes, 11% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



California is considered the craziest state...

Max: California, 403 of 1581 votes, 25% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



...but California is also the hottest. Funny how things always seem to turn out like that. This question wasn't even close, it appears that Katy Perry was right.

Max: California, 713 of 1411 votes, 51% (!) Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



America had trouble deciding which state was the ugliest. We know it's in the south somewhere, with Alabama in the lead.

Max: Alabama, 113 of 1442 votes, 9% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Colorado has the most beautiful scenery in the country, followed closely by Hawaii. Honorable mentions to Alaska, Montana and California.

Max: Colorado, 228 of 1545 votes, 15% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Kansas has the worst scenery. People also went out of their way to pick on Jersey on this one.

Max: Kansas, 174 of 1487 votes, 12% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Louisiana go home, you're drunk.

Max: Louisiana, 174 of 1568 votes, 11% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



People love to vacation in Hawaii, Florida, and California.

Max: Hawaii, 498 of 1568 votes, 32% (!) Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



New York is the most arrogant.

Max: New York, 612 of 1568 votes, 39% (!) Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



New York is also the rudest. Who could have guessed.

Max: New York, 680 of 1545 votes, 44% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Georgia is the nicest, followed by Minnesota. The South gets high marks here, potentially because the rest of the country doesn't understand that "Bless your heart" is facetious.

Max: Georgia, 104 of 1545 votes, 7% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Massachusetts is the smartest. All those colleges probably.

Max: Massachusetts, 342 of 1442 votes, 24% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Mississippi is believed to be the dumbest.

Max: Mississippi, 237 of 1442 votes, 16% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



New York is the home of the best sports fans.

Max: New York, 193 of 1442 votes, 13 percent Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



Most likely due to the fact that most Americans have never been to Philadelphia, the rest of the country believes New York also has the worst sports fans. I blame John Rocker.

Max: New York, 158 of 1442 votes, 11% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



America is pretty down to mess with Texas on anonymous surveys.

Max: Texas, 301 of 1422 votes, 21% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



All the usual suspects are considered overrated.

Max: California, 394 of 1422 votes, 28% Walter Hickey / BI, Poll by SurveyMonkey



While this was the most competitive category by far, people seem to believe that Oregon, Alaska and Maine are the most underrated.

Great job, America.
