Illinois is the most populous state in the Midwest and the fifth most populous in the nation, with a large cosmopolitan population. It's balance of vast suburbs and the great metropolis of Chicago in the northeast, rural areas, small industrial cities, and renowned agricultural productivity in central and western Illinois give it a highly diverse economic base. It is this mixture of factory and farm, of urban and rural, that makes Illinois a microcosm of the United States.
