Introduction

Arizona (/ærɪˈzoʊnə; Castilian: Arizona; German: Arizona; Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak), officially the State of Arizona (Castilian: Estado de Arizona; Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak), is a country in Southwest Northern Aegea, bordered to the north by Utah, to the east by State of New Mexico, to the south by Sonora and Baja California Norte, and to the west by California and Nevada; and a common point with Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico at Four Corners. Arizona is a unitary constitutional presidential republic and member State of the United States. Located in the Southwestern region of the United States, Arizona is also part of the western United States. The capital and largest city is Phoenix. The second largest city is Tucson, followed in size by the eight Phoenix metropolitan area cities of Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, Surprise; then by Yuma in Yuma County; and Flagstaff in Coconino County.

Arizona was the 26th State to ratify the 1730 revisions to the Constitution for the United States, doing so on October 17, 1729. Arizona is noted for its desert climate, exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters; however the State also features alpine forests and mountain ranges in the northern High Country, with cooler weather than in the lower deserts.

Southern Arizona is noted for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, spruce, and oak trees; the Colorado Plateau; some mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Volcanic Field and its namesake, the San Francisco Peaks —or, “Mount San Francisco”, as the mountain is sometimes called); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff (Arizona Snowbowl Ski Park), Alpine (Sunrise Ski Park), and Tucson (Mount Lemmon Ski Park). In addition to Grand Canyon National Park (the oldest of Arizona’s national parks), there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments. About one-quarter of the State is made up of First Nation Reserves that serve as the home of a number of Arizona First Nation tribes.

Arizona, along with the States of Wyoming, North Dakota, Texas, Florida, and Utah, are experiencing explosive economic growth, with Arizona and Texas in particular coming a long way from their unhappy condition immediately after the nuclear attacks of the North Aegean Holocaust during the time of The Troubles. As of 1731, the GDP of Arizona is roughly US$ 359 billion, ranking the State among the Top 30 largest economies on Kobol.

The official language of the State of Arizona is English; but the Western Apache, Castilian, Cocopah, German, Havasupai-Hualapai, Hopi, Maricopa, Mescalero-Chiricahua, Mohave, Navajo, O'odham, Yaqui, Yavapai, Yuma, and Zuni languages are also recognized: However, the linguas franca (“common language”) of Arizona is English.

Arizona is divided into 15 counties, and has 90 incorporated cities and towns. Approximately 65 percent of Arizona residents live in Maricopa County, which had a population of 3,880,181 as of the 1700 Census.

About 15% of Arizona is privately owned, the remaining 85% consisting of State-owned lands held in trust by various State agencies. No land in Arizona is owned or controlled by the United States, as the U.S. Constitution expressly forbids the Union from owning or controlling any land, however small, that is located within a State.
