I hope you don't mind someone contrubuting from outside the region.
Home, Land, Honor, Pride, Talent. Where do most of these things reside
and where is the southern region? All of the reside somewhat
symbololically in the "HEART" Looking at texas specifically the southern
region is in the heart of texas. What about something like the land of
the heart or something. Just a suggestion.
