Everyone knows stuff about America, so instead Im gonna focus on my state :3
Haha, not confident I can get 5 things, though
Will try
We are the forth largest export of corn in the world. Everywhere you drive here in Indiana, you see cornfields and soybeans, on every road. We even make jokes about how much corn we have, the slogan of one of our most well known theme parks "Theres more than corn in Indiana"
Industry is huge in Indiana, we are one of the most industrious states in the US. My city has the only Subaru manufacturing plants in the US, and it also boasts being the most advanced car manufacturing plant in the world. From my house alone, you can see two factories from my front porch
Indiana loves racing, we hold the Indianapolis 500, and people from all around the country come to the event. Our capital is also called the capital of amateur sports
Indiana is a highly conservative state, which is good in some ways, and bad in others. One of the bad things about this is that our state, in order to get more manufacturing companies to set up their factories here, allows these companies to get away with things other states wouldnt. And because of this, Indiana has some of the most polluted water in the US. In fact people commonly warn those who fish in my towns river to not eat any of the fish they catch :/
The people of Indiana call themselves "Hoosiers", haha and the best thing about this name, no one /actually/ knows where the name comes from You can google it, and one person will tell you its for this reason, and another for that reason, but there is no documented history behind the name, and no one really knows exactly where it comes from
We also have alot of historic events here in Indiana, most of them revolving around the Native Americans. The big two I always remember are the Pottawatomie festival, and the Feast of the Hunters Moon. Its all a reenactment of how people lived in those times, and includes both Native Americans as well as European immigrants, haha I used to really like those as a kid
Thats all I can think of at the moment, haha we arent really known for much
