US Economic Areas

Name the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Economic Areas. A Economic Area is a self-contained regional market consisting of an economic hub (a metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area) and the surrounding counties that are economically linked to it, primarily through worker commuting patterns.

Areas are generally named after cities, but not always. If an area is named after multiple cities, any of them is accepted.

National Weather Service County Warning Areas

Name the NWS County Warning Areas (also known as Weather Forecast Offices). You must name them as they are named by the NWS (or very close), which often is a city name but occasionally not. If the area is named after multiple cities either is accepted.

Please note: you will have to move west to see a few in Oceania.

I thought this must be a joke, as I wasn’t aware that his first wife is “famous” at all, so I checked the source, and it is just plain ridiculous:

“Among businesspeople, Ivana Trump ranks 1 out of 847. After her are Howard Hughes, Cecil Rhodes, Pierre de Coubertin, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oskar Schindler, George Soros, John D. Rockefeller, Jeff Bezos“

But it’s time Rosalind Franklin or Lise Meitner make the list, anyone can play the companion of an emporer or even less, not everybody can make contributions to the discovery of DNA or nuclear fission.

Really shocking Diana isn’t on here. Thought the likes of Susan B Anthony, Rosa Parks, some first ladies might crack the list too, but perhaps that’s too US-centric of me. Also, Indira Gandhi!?
