The Superregion of Heartland comprises of single-state region of Illinois and the two-state region of the Great Lakes. Illinois is the largest state, but the Great Lakes have a larger combined population. It is the smallest super-region in terms of number of states (3).

Geographically, the region is essentially composed of the states surrounding Lake Michigan, except for Indiana (which belongs to Appalachia). The Great Lakes region touches Lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, and Erie (missing only Lake Ontario), making it an aptly named region. However, the term Heartland to describe the superregion is under-inclusive, as states in Appalachia, Mississippi Valley and even Big Sky Country would also fit this description.

Politics

The Heartlands is lean-Democrat overall, with Democrats holding only a 52-48 overall advantage. The Great Lakes leans even more weakly towards the Democrats (51-49), while Illinois is a bit more comfortable (53-47) for Democrats. Politically, Republicans have been able in the past to overcome the bluish tint, and win the Governorship of the Heartlands, as well as winning Senate races in the Great Lakes; to date, however, they have not won any Senate races in Illinois.

Election 2008

Highlights: Max Powers elected Governor, Michael Casmir elected Illinois Senator, and Angela Chiles elected Great Lakes Senator.

Election 2010

Highlights: Andrew Merrilin re-elected Governor, after having ascended to the post upon the resignation of Max Powers. Elizabeth Wellbourne re-elected to the Senate.

Election 2012

Highlights: Senator Gregory Wolff re-elected. Governor Andrew Merrilin runs for and wins the Vice Presidency.

Election 2014

Highlights: Governor Elizabeth Wellbourne, who had become Governor when Andrew Merrilin resigned to become Vice President, while the Lieutenant Governorship was vacant, was re-elected Governor. Senators Williams, Brockmeier, and Gillikin are re-elected.

Election 2016
