I would have to vote for Tennessee.
Tennessee has been called "the three states of TN":
West Tennessee offers more of the high crime (Memphis) and city life like NY. The land is more level.
Middle Tennessee (Nashville) has more hills and The Grand Old Opry, yet has lots of country outlying the city. So, you get city life and country life close by.
Move on to East Tennessee and you have large, majestic mountains and tourist towns, like Gatlinburg, Piegon Forge, and Cades Cove. The Smoky Mountains draws thousands and thousands of tourists each year. The further East you go, the more "country" the people are and the larger the mountains become. Life there is mostly simple with friendly people. The largest cities in East Tennessee are Knoxville, and Chattanooga to the South. Knoxville has lots of traffic because interstates I-40 (East to West), and I-75 (North to South) merge right through the middle of it, making it a preferred stop-over for people on a road trip; easy access to the interstate.
So, if a person wants to experience "life in America", they can do it all by visiting only one state. Tennessee has it all.
