Oklahoma
Background
Oklahoma is a state located in the southern Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands regions of the United States. It is sometimes called "Native America" and the "Sooner State", and is part of a region commonly known as the American "Heartland." Oklahoma City is the state's capital and largest city. The Congressional Quarterly and Census report place Oklahoma in the Southern United States. However, since Oklahoma is near the geographic center of the U.S., the regional influences add to Oklahoma's unique character.
