Taking the official and unofficial tartans together, there are more than 40 US states with their own setts, and a great number of tartans for smaller districts. Offhand I cannot recall which cities (aside from New York) have their own tartans, but in New York State there are about half a dozen district tartans, while several other states also have a handful each. (So far there is no agreed tartan for New York State, but that might change very soon.)
Canada is even more a country of tartan. Quebec has an unofficial tartan (unlike all the other provinces, which have official setts), but it also has a plethora of district tartans. In fact, only the prairie provinces are thin on the ground with district tartans. There are numerous district setts for eastern Canada and British Columbia. Even Nunavut has not one, but two unofficial tartans.

On top of all that Canada's official tartan is the Maple Leaf tartan, it was recently made official. Matt even wrote an article on it for the Scottish Banner, and they used this photo of me for the article.
