    About this ebook

    The States is a fantastic book that facilitates and establishes our love of the USA in a humorously compiled set of facts and opinions.

    Each state has been carefully scrutinized and put in its place. After an initial analysis of each state, the reader is treated to interesting facts and tidbits. Readers of the book may find themselves speechless at the absurdity of facts and finality of opinions expressed.

    No other book captures the sense of humor the United States is famous for quite like this one. The States will leave you wanting more. Enjoy it again and again on your road trips.

      An Introduction by the Author

      This book represents a collection of facts and opinions, mostly opinions, regarding the United States of America. The reader should, stop reading immediately or take care to recognize when and where the facts and opinions occur. The book is not intended as a definitive guide to the USA, as the opinions expressed may differ from person to person.

      Special attention has been paid to certain details to ensure the factual natures of those details are preserved. Other details, which include conjecture about various details of each state, are included only to entertain. The contents, details, opinion and conjecture of each state will include but are not limited to: demographics, fat kids, economy, education, geography, law and government, sports and transportation.

      The introduction to each state will be presented in alphabetical order. Data including each of the state’s symbols will probably appear after each state introduction. The information presented is most likely in no particular order.

      In short, the book should be read for entertainment and perhaps even some enlightenment. Go on then, enjoy The States.
