A region that should be an independent state. Home to the worst drivers anywhere. Mostly rich areas.

Apparently considered by the rest of Virginia as "uncultured", obtuse, and border-line elitist. As for the elitism, this author can assure you as an elitist themselves it is not, and far from it. As for the cultural aspect of the equation it seems quite odd since there is a high content of ethnicities and nationalities residing in Northern Virginia. However, as the majority of the adults living in the suburbs of NoVa commute to Washington D.C., a government and urban area it is not as "Southern" as the rest of VA. Although, as the aforementioned population is very diverse, it does consist of a melting pot of culture, and therefore are more tolerant of a global community acting as one. Moving on, since Northern Virginia has lots of "noveau riche" folk (as said by someone living in a Southern part of Virginia) and highly paid government employees, it seems as if although cordial and when talking to strangers worry-free of politics, religion, business, et cetera; they are in fact quite knowledgeable of at least one of the topics. As for wanting to be part of the "North", this simply is not true as the Civil War is over.

The most affluent and educated region in the nation. Generally refers to the Virginia portion of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area including the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun as well as the independent cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas, and Manassas Park. Several other outlying counties and cities can also be included such as Stafford and Fauquier Counties and the City of Fredricksburg. Having 2.6 million residents, it is the most populous region in Virginia, the Washington Metropolitan Area, and the Baltimore-Washington Combined Statistical Area. There are literally almost no ghettos or real crime. Do not move to this area if you make under a $100,000 salary or you will be considered poor. It is generally the Beverley Hills of the East Coast because it is not uncommon for 16 year olds to be driving brand new $60,000 BMWs and Mercedes. Mostly everyone is white and has everything they want. The region does not have international status as the most rich and educated due to surrounding jurisdictions trying to keep NoVA under wraps so it cannot become overpowering. People from Northern Virginia are literally better than everyone else.
Bobby: Hey babe. Sup? You look new. Where you from?
Melinda: You're kinda cute. I'm from Fairfax County, VA right outside DC in Northern Virginia. What about you?
Bobby: I'm from Suffolk, VA in the south.
Melinda: Oh sorry we could never date because you're automatically poorer and less-educated than me and everyone else in my area. kthnxbye:)!
Bobby: Oh man you're so right. Sorry for even talking to you. It's a privilege than anyone from NoVA would even grace my presence.

The northern portion of the state of Virginia, bordering DC and Maryland. As evidenced in this site, we are disliked greatly by the rest of Virginia because this area is not full of rednecks and hicks like southern virginia, or hillbillies like West Virginia. We have some of the most affluent counties in the US, with Loudon and Fairfax always competing for the number one spot. Full of ethnic diversity and educated people from all over the world who shape the area we live in. No, we are NOT proud southerners, because there isn't anything remotely southern about us. I have encountered very few southern accents here, and most were from people who lived down south. I am proud to live in such an area.
You say you want Northern Virginia to become its own state, but our taxes are all spent on YOU, southern virginia. What on earth would happen to you without us, besides becoming a state akin to Kentucky or Mississippi? Face it, you NEED us. So please, please stop bitching.

Okay, so I live in NOVA and I just got really pissed when I read this Southern Virginian bastard's definition:
"So Northern Virginia, please do the rest of the state a favor, and become part of Maryland. Northern Virginia you're money will not be missed because you have no class."
Our money will not be missed? Excuse me, but Northern Virginia pays a huge percent of the state taxes compared to its size. So our money goes to you Southern wankers so you can actually go to a decent school. And maybe we will leave, then at least our hard-earned money won't go to ungrateful assholes like you.
Most Southern Virginians have never been to Northern Virginia, they're just making up things to make us look bad because they know we're better than them.
Most of us aren't spoiled brats, our parents *just* make a lot of money. We are most definitely not snobby.
-I've lived in Reston (NOVA) for a very long time, and I can just say I met some of the truest, funniest, smartest, beautiful (on the inside, and out), and most down-to-earth people in my entire life. I've met so many FUCKEN AMAZING people and I love them all to death.
Stop stereotyping us because you have no fucking idea of anything in Northern Virginia.
So go get a life fuck yourselves, Southern Virginians, you know no one else will.
(Hey, if you're a Southern Virginian and you don't hate us Novans, I didn't mean you. I'm only being a bitch because someone else was.)

Southern Virginian: Northern VA has no class, no money, no decent people.
Northern Virginian: Oh look whos talking.

A part of Virginia that is one of the richest (Great falls, Ashburn, Centreville, Chantilly,Arlington, Sterling ect) but yet over populated with illegal immigrants and Spanish and Asian gangs. Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas, PWC, and even Loudon County have some of the worst illegal immigration problems in the nation. Allot of Northern VA is turning into a little Haiti or something except more like a little Honduras. There are Peruvian and el-Salvadorian places galore in NOVA. An entire part of Falls Church is all Vietnamese. A section of Alexandria City called Arlanda is known as little El-Salvador (Its on wikipedia!). Annandale has a section that is all in Korean. I can’t read that shit. It starts to make me wonder is this even America? I don’t know how this is one of the richest places when New York or New Jersey cost almost twice the cost of living it does here. And that’s a fact! Overall if you decide to come check this place out The city of Alexandria is probably the only one I would check out. And for the Centreville and Chantilly people that keep putting up this and that about there the gang capital of NOVA bullshit. Let me make this perfectly clear NOVA is soft except for Alexandria and the outskirts of Falls Church like Culmore. So shut the fuck up. And for southern Virginians that hate us for well, why? Fuck off get a life. I would much rather live here that in the seven cities or Richmond simply because there is a hell of a lot more to do here than down there. That southern hospitality talk is bullshit most people in Richmond are assholes. VA Beach is a hick town with ignorant ass people and the same crime rates as NOVA so stop acting all thug and shit. Here’s my point Alexandria 6.0 per 100,000. Virginia Beach 5.6 per 100,000. Suffolk co is one of the safest counties next to Fairfax look it up on wikipedia SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!
