I live near enough to the border that most of Maine is a day trip away and that’s the impression I get from local news, and friends and family living in Maine.

Only other stereotype I can recall being told on top of the GP is that it’s very insular and if you’re not a Maine native then don’t expect to ever win an election.

Again all anecdotal but it’s what your neighbors think of you at least

A local term for one group of neighbors is "Massholes", so guess the feeling is mutual.

[lovich]

Yea, and I don’t know anyone from the area whose been called that and didn’t at least begrudgingly accept it. Sometimes the nicknames are accurate

[spywaregorilla]

Massholes use this term as well, so, not too bad.
