Mississippi
Been in the state and it is very nice! and it is part of the USA!!! The cities are very nice, but the small local towns are very very poor - as it was mostly cotton fields.

This shouldn't even be a question... Have you ever been to Mississippi? Yikes.
Romania.
Mississippi, at least it is in the United States.
Romania. It`s beautiful. And you get to escape the rat race of everyday American life.
