      In my experience there are actually only about 10 UK accents, the rest are just pretending.

      If you want actual accent madness its Norway. Somehow evry town with 5 people or more has a unique accent.

        The US has a fucking ton of regional dialects and accents probably owing to how huge it is. Like you have 4 or 5 just in the NYC area. Then you got the Appalacians you got the bayou and the french influence. You got the Tennessee drawl (which funny enough I kinda absorbed by spending so much time online talking to southern comrades). California has a couple but they’re pretty boring, you got the great lakes/dakotas (aka almost canada but not quite).
