"The Hoosier State" Indiana (pop: 6,271,973) is a Midwestern state of the United States and is bounded on the north by Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan; on the east by Ohio; on the south by Kentucky, with which it shares the Ohio River as a border; and on the west by Illinois.

Indianopolis is the state's capital and largest city and the northwest corner of the state is part of the greater metropolitan area of Chicago.

Indiana is located within the Corn Belt - feedlot-style systems to raise corn to fatten hogs and cattle. Soybeans are also a major cash crop. The state's nearness to large urban centers, such as Chicago, also assures that much dairying, egg production, and specialty horticulture occur. In addition, Indiana is a significant producer of tobacco.

Northwest Indiana is the largest steel producing area in the U.S., other manufactures include automobiles, electrical equipment, transportation equipment, chemical products, rubber, petroleum and coal products, and factory machinery.
