This Is the Most 'American' State

America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but Iowans are a little freer and braver than the rest of us, apparently. In what the Des Moines Register calls a "totally unscientific study," Estately ranks the 50 states on "Americaness." It used 8 "indicators that represent the uniqueness" of the good ol' USA to arrive at its conclusion: each state's number of bald eagles, guns, astronauts, fast food restaurants, MLB players, and Olympic gold medals won; Facebook interest in the "United States of America" among residents; and, um, Google searches for "Bin Laden dead." (Most of those figures were considered per capita, per square mile, or as a percentage.) The top 10:

1. Iowa
2. Ohio
3. West Virginia
4. Alabama
5. South Dakota
6. Illinois
7. Oklahoma
8. Arkansas
9. Missouri
10. Mississippi
