Georgia is the 8th largest state in the US, with a population of 10.6 million people. Nestled in the southeastern region of the country, Georgia is bordered by North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida. While Northern Georgia is mountainous, the central region is filled with rolling hills and the southern region is essentially a flat coastal plain. The Blue Ridge Mountains call Northern Georgia home and the two largest rivers of central Georgia, the Oconee and the Ocmulgee flow together to form the Altamaha.

Georgia is home to about 18 Fortune 500 Companies, including Coca Cola, Delta Air Lines, Home Depot, UPS, and Aflac, among others. Some of the state's major industries include agriculture (cotton, cattle, calves, chicken eggs, and peanuts), manufacturing, mining, fishing, and services. Georgia manufactures processed foods and drinks and textiles like carpeting, yarn, and synthetic fabrics, and tire cord.

There's plenty to do if you decide to make the move to the Peach State, including attractions like the World of Coca-Cola, Rock City Gardens, the Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park, and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. Atlanta is the cultural hub of Georgia and offers plenty in terms of entertainment, events, food, and fun. Georgia's also got more than 50 state parks and tons of beaches so if you're considering a permanent move to the Peach State, you won't be disappointed.
