How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)?
If cultural differences coincide with geography, please mention in, too.
In the questions about weird things people from different continents do somebody pointed out, that Europeans have little knowledge of this, so please fix my ignorance.

Southeast: southern hospitality
Should be “southern hospitality” in quotation marks. Rudest bunch you’ll ever meet unless you are exactly like them.
I’ve found DC to be the rudest bunch of people I’ve ever met. Everywhere I’ve gone in DC the people are just totally rude assholes. Everywhere I’ve been in the south has just been nice, polite, helpful people.
Nah we’re never rude, they’re all compliments.
Well bless your heart, I would never have the courage to wear something like that in public like you do.
