A contiguous three-county area of Indiana that borders Chicago; consisting of Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties.
The three counties are notably different from the rest of Indiana and more in line with neighboring Chicago in terms of economy, culture, politics and association - even a time zone (the region is on Central Standard, while most of the rest of Indiana observes Eastern Standard).
The region is part of the greater Chicagoland metropolitan area according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

A paradigm in which the older ideas create the newer religions; for instance the Christian religion.
The messiah is from Ashavism an idea from Iran.
It predates Judaism by more than fifteen hundred years. The reincarnation of the Ashava in Christianity is an example of regionalism at hand.

A style of Punk music based in the southeast United States including but not limited to Chattanooga, TN; Asheville, NC; Huntsville, AL; Miami and parts of north Florida; Dalton, GA; and areas of Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Virginia. It is characteristically tough, melodic, and catchy, but based more on geography and community than a particular sound.
Future Virgins, Rice Harvester, The Grumpies, Forced Vengeance, Twat Sauce, and Queerwulf are just a few examples of bands based in the southeast US who create the uniquely raw, emotive and melodic style of DIY Punk Rock known as Region Rock.
