I don't remember, but Googling it, it looks an awful lot like what I'm talking about! The term sure looks right. My American brain parses this as "traits of people based on prefecture [they live in]." Thanks.
Now if I can just wade through various books on Amazon.co.jp to see if I can find one that looks like what I remember (which is basically that it was a sort of funny book, or at least was supposed to make people say "oh man that's SO TRUE ABOUT THOSE HOKKAIDO PEOPLE!"
This is the first link I found, and it looks like something worth wading through and struggling with the kanji I don't know or barely know:
