Nebraska

Nebraska, a state in the Midwest region of the United States, is known for its vast stretches of golden plains, its delicious corn, and, well, not much else.

The state has a population of around 1.9 million people, most of whom are farmers or Huskers fans. The state capital is Lincoln, which is often referred to as “the city that football built.”

Nebraska is home to many famous landmarks such as Chimney Rock, the state capitol building, and the world’s largest ball of stamps. Oh, and don’t forget the Cornhusker Hotel, which is shaped like an ear of corn. Talk about literal!

Fun fact: Nebraska is actually named after the Otoe Indian word meaning “flat water,” which is ironic considering the state is known for its dry and parched landscapes.

The state animal is the whitetail deer, which can be found roaming the vast prairies of Nebraska. However, the most well-known animal in the state is the mighty cornhusker, which is rumored to have the strength of ten men and the ability to shuck an entire field of corn in under an hour.

Nebraska is also famous for its extreme weather conditions. Summers are scorching hot, while winters can be brutally cold with snow drifts taller than the tallest corn stalk. And forget about driving on the highways during a tornado, y’all just have to hunker down and pray the corn maze provides enough shelter.

Despite its lack of major attractions, Nebraska is a great state to live in if you enjoy long drives on empty highways, eating beef and corn in every meal, and being able to see for miles and miles in all directions. It’s one of those places you either love or leave, but for those who call it home, there’s nowhere else they’d rather be… well, except maybe on vacation in Hawaii.
