I second the recommendation of this book. I read it for the first time earlier this year and found it quite interesting. I don't think anyone will agree with all of the author's conclusions and opinions but as food for thought its pretty tasty.
The Deep South he describes is probably more like New America than the real deep south of 2014 (my poorly informed opinion only having not visited). His description of El Norte is probably quite relevant in the v1 timeline. The other regions are probably less directly applicable to t2k but it can definitely add flavour.
