Michigan, also known as "The Wolverine State," or "The Great Lakes State," has a population of 10 million people. The state is also known for its amazing contributions to the auto industry, education, and agriculture. It's the only state that's divided into two peninsulas: the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The state is bounded on the south by Ohio and Indiana and shares both land and water boundaries with both states. Michigan's northern boundary runs through Lake Superior.

Michigan's top industries include manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, and alternative energy. The state boasts a cost of living lower than the national average and plenty to do all year long, especially if you love water and winter weather, such as beaches, skiing, amusement parks, casinos, museums, restaurants, nightlife, and more.

Some of the top attractions are Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Mackinac Island, Isle Royale National Park, The Henry Ford Museum, and Tahquamenon Falls.
