Maine
Maine is by far the largest state in New England in terms of area. With an area of approx. 91,646 km², it is slightly larger than Ireland or Austria. Maine is very sparsely populated and has a population of around 1.33 million people. This means that the state offers plenty of space and lots of room for its vast nature and wildlife, but also for other attractions.
The state motto consists of just one word and is "Dirigo", which means "I lead". The nickname of the state of Maine is "The Pine Tree State". This is not surprising, as there are vast forests between lakes and rivers. Maine has been a member of the United States of America since March 15, 1820. Before it became its own state, it was part of the state of Massachusetts.
