Minnesota

The state in the Midwest of the USA with the capital Saint Paul covers 225,163 km². It borders the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario to the north, Wisconsin to the east, Iowa to the south and South Dakota and North Dakota to the west. The 11,842 lakes cover around 19,000 square kilometres, or 8.4% of the state's surface area. This is why Minnesota is also known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Minnesota joined the Union in 1858 as the 32nd state.
