(You might also get a "Central California" from some folks, but the dividing lines there would be similarly fuzzy.) My wife grew up in San Luis Obispo, and people from LA tend to say she's from Northern California and San Franciscans say she's from Southern California. I realize this doesn't help much, just pointing out that you're probably going to end up drawing some arbitrary lines however you slice it. Maybe want you want is some kind of clustering based on number of nodes? (As a further data point on the Six Californias plan, note that it is just one of many plans introduced even this decade <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_and_secession_in_California#21st_century>. So not useful.) Hope that helps- Luis
