They are even a worse fit (geographically) than we are.

At least over half of our state is solidly southern/southeastern.

I realize western Arkansas and NW Arkansas aren't anything like the "deep south" and I'm perfectly fine with that. But Little Rock and most of the geographic area of the state is.

Arkansas is a state that can be southwestern or southeastern depending on where you are. Missouri might have a slight southern flavor to a small part of the state, but it is no way considered a "southern state".

We just have no history at all with them. There's much more "bad blood" between us and Tulsa or Memphis than there is with Missouri. It is a friendly state border. I have almost no opinion about Missouri other than for the most part, it is pretty nice.
