California
California, on the West Coast, is a world all of its own. It is the most populous state, and its economy, if separated from the United States, would be one of the world's largest. It has tremendous variety of landscape, from mountains to seacoasts to deserts. You can get a suntan on the beach in California or go skiing on the same day. Two of the nation's cities of over a million people Los Angeles and San Diego are in Southern California. The San Francisco area and nearby "Silicon Valley," famous for its high-tech industries, form another significant area to the north. California is an industrial power. California's San Juaquin and Sacramento valleys produce fruits and vegetables sold over the entire United States.
