Where are zones IRL?

Or rather, what places do in-game zones most resemble in the real world?

The one that strikes me the most is the Grizzly Hills. To me it seems like a caricaturization of Idaho (most likely because that's where I live). From the terrain (mountainous pine forests), wildlife (bears, wolves, eagles, deer), and even the NPCs (hunters in plaid clothing).

So what other places irl do game zones bear a strong resemblance to?

I always thought of Grizzly Hills as the California Redwoods myself.
