Middle-American

Though the borders between the US, Mexico, and Canada dissolved after the formation of the United North American States, cultural boundaries still persist. The residents of the former United States retain many customs and traditions that came with hundreds of years of American history and heritage.
"Middle-American" or sometimes "MidAmerican" refers to one whose heritage and culture trace back to the former United States. This includes a large number of people displaced by World War 3, even over several generations. American traditions and customs are still practiced by these groups in defiance of or in synthesis with the local customs.
There are a number of subdivisions between Middle-Americans within the former US, mostly due to regional variation, such as the New Englanders or the Appalachians. Others fall along strong ethnic/racial lines rather than geographical, such as the Franco-Americans or African Americans who have a strong cultural bond due to ancestral experiences.
Of particular note, the term Middle-American does not generally apply to those in what had been known as the American Southwest, extending from South Texas on to Southern California. These regions have seen a fusion of Latin American and Middle American culture giving birth to a distinctly new ethnicity known as Rio-Americans.
