Since some people have said that Fluttershy is the best personification of Oregon and its people, I decided to make a map depicting a different Fluttershy representing each county and what makes it unique. It was kind of hard to find images for some of them, especially the more obscure counties in the northeast. _{(coughShermancough)}

Clatsop: Since I couldn’t find any Fluttershy images related to any of the forts, I just went with fishing.
Columbia: The author Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie
Multnomah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMfu2p9gnNg
Clackamas: Mt. Hood and Timberline Lodge
Washington: It’s a bedroom community for Multnomah. Also there’s a shoe company there.
Yamhill: Evergreen Aviation Museum (& waterpark)
Tillamook: A 2 lb baby loaf
Lincoln: Lincoln City is a great place to fly kites
Polk: The Oregon State Normal School
Marion:
—–Salem: Capitol Building & Mahonia Hall
—–North of Salem: Woodburn Outlet Mall
—–Santiam Canyon: “Only YOU can prevent forest fires!”
Linn: The self-proclaimed “Grass Seed Capital of the World”
Benton and Lane: Their favorite animals. Also Tracktown.
Douglas: The self-proclaimed “Timber Capital of America” and Umpqua Community College
Coos: The only good (natural) harbor between San Francisco and Seattle (Sorry, Newport)
Curry: Biggest producer of Easter Lillies in the US
Josephine: Birthplace of Dutch Bros.
Jackson: “Methford”
Klamath: “Civilized? You think you’re civilized because you live in the burnt-out ruins of a beforetime town? Tell me something else.”
Lake: The Cowboy Sign in front of the Safeway
Deschutes: Craft Beer
Crook: Prineville built its own railroad (because no one else wanted to give it one)
Jefferson: 300 days of sunshine per year
Wasco: Rajneeshpuram
Hood River: fruit orchards
Sherman: Fluttershy in Bone Dry Desert because, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s the driest county? (Oregon **Blue Book says there’s only 9.15” annual precipitation)
Gilliam: The two largest employers are landfills
Wheeler and Grant: John Day Fossil Beds
Morrow: The Boardman Bombing Range
Umatilla: Pendleton Woolen Mills
Union: Hot Springs
Wallowa: The Snake River and Bronze Foundries
Baker: National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center
Harney: Malheur Wildlife Refuge
Malheur: Most of the county is in a different time zone from the rest of the state

1: There’s a reason I consider Washington DC to be a part of the Northeast despite being ‘where the North meets the south’ as you say. It is because Washington DC is literally in the Northeast Corridor, the urban corridor that stretches from Washington DC to the south up north to Boston. Major cities in the area include NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

2: Also, yes, I meant the Southwest. It was late, and I was tired. I will get that edited now. But no, I would have Twilight represent the entire Northeast region, including the Education Corridor (Boston and New Haven, primarily) while Rarity would still be in the Southwest, my friend.

3: I don’t care about Applejack’s association with apples. She is literally a stereotypical southerner. So yes, while in the real world the region most associated with apples is in the north, I would still have her represent the South (predominantly Texas and Georgia).

4: True, Rainbow Dash is a narcissist, but you could argue that there are plenty of narcissistic people are in the Pacific Northwest (I literally just mentioned how bad Portland is, and Seattle is arguably even worse). So no, I would still have Rainbow Dash represent that.

5: Plains and Rust Belt are both part of the Midwest, which I gave to Pinkie Pie. If you look up ‘Great Lakes Megapolis’ on Wikipedia, you will see that it includes most of the Great Plains cities. It also includes all cities in the Rust Belt, as well. As for Alaska and Hawaii, I was mostly focusing on the contiguous US, not the extraneous states. But yes, those two states would be represented by other ponies. What those ponies are, I don’t know. But I certainly wound’t have Luna represent Alaska, or the CMC represent Hawaii.

Certainly, although I would do it a bit differently.

First, the capital isn’t really in the northeast, but rather at the point where the north meets the south. I would have Twilight represent New England specifically because of its high concentration of prestigious universities.
Rather than Rarity representing the southwest (I assume you meant southwest), I would have her represent the region between (and including) New York and DC (and maybe the Tidewater region as well) because Rarity has a ‘Mid-Atlantic’ accent, and her frequent visits to Manehattan in the show for both business and pleasure.
Applejack is strange because, despite having a southern accent and essentially being a stereotypical southerner, both the state most associated with growing apples and the region where Johnny Appleseed lived are in the north. Although people tend to see her as a southerner first and an apple farmer second.
Rainbow Dash being a narcissist would fit California well. Her being in the Wonderbolts would also fit the California/Nevada region well because of the high concentration of military bases there, while the Northwest has very few significant bases outside of Seattle.
Other regions like Hawaii, Alaska, Plains, and the Rust Belt are left without adequate representation, so we should look at other ponies beyond the mane six to fulfill that.

I think a better map for that would be a division of the US based on geography instead of by state lines. After all, with 50 total states (48 of which are in the mainland US) it is impossible to have a pony represent each and every state properly. So here’s how I would divide it:

Twilight would represent the Northeast US (because that’s where the Capitol is)
Rarity would represent the Southwest US (because Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills are there)
Pinkie Pie would represent the Midwest US (because she is a party pony and Chicago is home to the largest music festival in the country in the form of Lolapalooza)
Fluttershy would represent the Mountain West (because that’s where the largest concentration of National Parks are located, along with the widest variety of natural biomes).
Applejack would represent the South and Southeast US (because she is a caricature of Southern Americans)
Rainbow Dash would represent the Northeast, which includes Oregon (because she is a Pegasus who can manipulate the weather, and the Cascades region is known for its cloud cover and rainstorms)

That’s how I would divide it. Not by individual states, but by geographic regions. That way you give every state a chance to be represented by a pony.

I got the ‘Fluttershy as Oregon’ idea from here, but it doesn’t cover all the states. Someone did make one that covered every state, but clearly didn’t put much thought into it because some of the pony choices are just plain bizarre.

I have met too many rude people in Portland to count to say that Fluttershy would truly enjoy it there.

People outside of the Portland area tend to be pretty nice, and there’s a popular stereotype that many Portlanders are just transplanted Californians. Although I find that people in Corvallis (and Eugene I assume as well) are rather two-faced where they’re outwardly nice to strangers but hold a very vicious, unFluttershy-like hatred for anyone who disagrees with them on the issues they hold dear. But outside of the college towns and the Portland Metro, everyone else is friendly.

Oregon has gotten to be a big mess as of late. However, Fluttershy can make it all better. At least, I hope she can.

It certainly is a mess, but what would she do that Kate Brown isn’t already doing? Some people say that many of the Democrats’ policies are based on a misguided sense of altruism, which Fluttershy is the embodiment of.

Montana would be a better option

I have a hard time believing that Fluttershy would vote Republican or support coal mining. Though if we were to grant that Fluttershy is a better personification of Montana than Oregon, then who would better represent Oregon?

Or Colorado, Utah, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, North or South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North or South Carolina, Virginia or West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine?

Yep, that completes the list of all 48 mainland US states. Only ones not included are Alaska and Hawaii.

What about Washington, California, Nevada and Idaho? What ponies would those states represent?

Well, it is technically a real state, and one that my parents were born and raised in (yes, I have been to Oregon many, many times as a result of that, and despite my misgivings of Portland I love it there).

Yes! It is full of Fluttershy, with Starlight, Maud, and Petunia as bonuses! I would move there. :3

Edit: Wait, some people actually said that Fluttershy is a personification of Oregon? Allow me to voice my disagreement on that. I have met too many rude people in Portland to count to say that Fluttershy would truly enjoy it there. Frankly I think she would either be driven away by their rudeness, or she would work hard to fix the issue.
As for a state that she could truly represent, I would make the argument that Montana would be a better option. A lot more friendly people there, along with plenty of wildlife thanks to the national parks in that state.
