Having lived in VT and ME, both have thier benefits. In VT i was considered a far right conservative because I liked guns and didn't support a lot of social causes. In Maine I am considered a progressive liberal because I like social change and I'm not religious.
I personally think VT is prettier and as a whole has nicer people, but Maine is more wild and being so big it's a craps shoot as to if the folks are nice or not. Also VT is easier to come from away as most there are actually from away making the transition easier.... unfortunately many have wealth and a NIMBY attitude in VT.
State govts, VT is more progressive with better social welfare and lower income taxes yet also has an awesome Republican governor. Maine....like the weather politics shift depending on the climate. That leads to economic instability that we have seen for decades.

I met some up in northern Minnesota. Took like all of 10 minutes of standing outside to get them eating out of my hand. They’re so cute and fluffy too ❤️

And then his district’s voters(are these the real Mainers?) thought it was a great idea and put him in office.

I don't even fully agree with abortion (I would never get one myself, but i do not judge others' choices), but this is absolutely disgusting and in no way a good comparison.

I would say the biggest difference is how quickly you can get to a mid-sized city - a place with a decent hospital and good variety of shopping alternatives. Otherwise the climate / social attitudes / roads, buildings etc. are pretty similar.
Using that measure, there's no state-vs-state difference, but plenty of difference within the rural areas of each state.

People are a bit different - VT trends liberal, NH trends conservative and Maine is all over the map, but closer to conservative. Mainers seems to be less friendly to newcomers. NH is a bit more rat racy. VTers are too far from the ocean. Lol.
