Maine, however you want it.

Maine, located in the northeasternmost region of the United States, is a state known for its picturesque landscapes, quaint coastal towns, and rich cultural history. With a total area of 35,385 square miles, Maine is the 12th smallest state in the country, yet the largest in New England. It shares its borders with New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick to the north and northeast, respectively. Geographically, Maine features a diverse landscape that includes rocky coastlines, dense forests, rolling mountains, and numerous rivers and lakes. The state's highest peak, Mount Katahdin, stands tall at 5,267 feet and is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Maine's coastline stretches for over 3,500 miles, dotted with lighthouses and charming fishing villages. Maine's rich history dates back to the Native American tribes, such as the Abenaki and the Passamaquoddy, who inhabited the region for thousands of years before European settlers arrived. The state became the 23rd to join the Union on March 15, 1820, as part of the Missouri Compromise.
