Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States, bordering Alabama to the northwest and Georgia to the north. It was the 27th state admitted to the United States. Much of the land mass of the state is a large peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
It is nicknamed the "Sunshine State" because of its generally warm climate – subtropical in many regions of the state, with true tropical climate in the far southern portions near Key West. The state has a few large urban areas, a number of smaller industrial cities, and many small towns. Tallahassee is the state capital and Miami is the largest metro area. Residents of Florida are properly known as "Floridians".
In early 2153, a Xindi attack on Earth cut a swath from Florida to Venezuela, killing millions of people, including Elizabeth, the sister of Charles Tucker, III. (ENT: "The Expanse")
By the early 23rd century, the city of Federa-Terra was established in Florida. (TOS novel: The Final Reflection)
