Its where Brad Pitt's family orginates. He's an educated Mizzeran (still has his Missouri accent though). The state of Mizzerah (Ozark Mountains) lies between Oklahoma, Arkansas and Southern Illinois with Missouri to the north.

Mizzerah vs. Missoreee goes back to the civil war where the state was at war with itself. The Gov. decided to have his own personal army. Jesse James and Bloody Bill types were Confederate (Mizzerah) guerrilla fighters who went to Missoree towns (union) and burned them to the ground killing people. Good times, these people are actually celebrated. Also goes back to the war against the free state of Kansas Bleeding Kansas and the Lawrence Massacre. Then further reading, read the Missouri Compromise which allowed Missouri to become a state of the United States, then the Dred Scott case where a black slave won his freedom. Anyway so the southern part of the state is staunch Confederate leaning and the Northern part is pro-Union and it's split down the middle by the Missoree/Mizzerah river.
If Mizzerah and Missouri were two different states or countries, we'd have nuked each other by now because when things get heated, we want to shoot each other. literally. our blood starts to boil. For example I'm unamerican because my name is funny. A Mizzeran would not trust you because of your last name. This came up during the current Republican nomination for Governor. A couple Mizzerans were 'suspecious' of a guy named 'Hulshof' because in their words 'that name don't sound right'.
Anyway people from Missoree don't recognize the Mizzerans right to exist as they're inbred Arkansas folk. While Mizzerans don't recognize Missoree because its 'where the black people live and liberalism'.
Southern culture vs. Midwestern culture. Brad Pitt grew up to Mizzerah but went to Mizzou (University of Missouri) which is considered the Missoree school (he shunned Mizzerah State).
Another defector is Sheryl Crow. She fled.
