A state which has a lot of socio-economic inequality. If you live in the Northern Chicago Suburbs, congrats. You're probably a multi-millionaire living in a mansion. If you don't, you probably live in a shack in Chicago, not the nice Chicago. Lucky, your kids will go to Chicago Public Schools and never get nowhere in life. While, all the pharma execs' kids pay their ways into MIT. Don't worry, the governor legalized weed. At least all the conservatives have been chased away.
Illinois has high taxes, but can't seem to get shit done.

A great Midwestern state that represents The North, the South, and the Midwest all in one. This is because the length of Illinois runs up and down for over 300 miles: the northernmost area being along the Wisconsin border, and the southernmost area being at the confluence of the Mississippi River and Ohio River, located at the small town of Cairo (pronounced KAY-row).

The state of Illinois consists of flat plains, cultivated farmlands, rich river valleys, a few forests, and well laid-out urban cities. The largest of these cities is the major metropolis of Chicago with its massive skyline and high population of just under 3 million people. Its metropolitan, surrounding-area population amounts to an even larger 7 million people.
The second largest city is Aurora, then Rockford. Springfield and Peoria are practically equal in size, with a population of around 113,000 each. This is an awesome state that everyone should visit.
Illinois is one of the largest corn-growing states in the Union. It also manufactures a lot of farm machinery, machine tools, processed foods, construction supplies, etc. The state has a very strong industry, and an even greater commercial strength because of Chicago. Here are the headquarters of many companies; tons of banks, insurance companies, industrial corporation headquarters, etc. There is also an incredible cultural standing with its numerous museums, fashion and apparel production, arcades, multi-ethnic restaurants, and more.

A midwestern state where you could see a Porshe and a John Deere tractor on the same country road on your way to eat a Pony Shoe (or if you're hungry, a Horse Shoe) with your neighbors who happen to be a farmer, a stock broker, a doctor, and a hippie (i.e., very diverse). Illinoisians are infatuated with the outdoors, as shown by the multitude of state parks throughout the state. Although there sometimes tends to be tension between the Chicagoans and Downstaters, both unite together in their loyalty and pride in Illinois.
Notable cities (from south to north): Decatur, Charleston-Mattoon, Springfield, Danville, Urbana-Champaign, Bloomington, Peoria, Rockford, Rock Island-Moline, Chicago and suburbs.

The proper name of a very nice State, which is usually mis-pronounced as "ill-in-noise." It's actuall pronunciation is "ill-in-oy." People who mispronounce it in the presence of someone from that great State are usually in for a verbal and/or physical smack-down.
(1)Bob - "So, I hear you're from ill-in-noise, right?"

Gunny- "No, you cum-guzzling spunk-dumpster, I'm from ill-in-oy. What craptastic fucktard state are you from? Confusion?"

(2) "People from Illinois today launched a nationwide day of protest angainst cheesheads and other fucktards that commonly mis-pronounce the name of their great State."

probably one of the best places in america. theres chicago and the Downstate, and they're both awesome. illinois has everything, from the big city to the rolling farmlands, from the mississippi valley to the hills in the south, from the cliffs and bluffs in the northwest to the beaches in the northeast. from the extreme seasons to the fast drivers, and the endlessly booming suburbs. illinois is an amazing place to have your home in, and an awesome place to grow up. oh yeah, its POP, not soda or cola or any of that shit
illinois is my home, and i love it. and we're not all hicks, even if we're farmers!!

4 parts, you got Chicagoland, North Illinois, Central Illinois, and South Illinois. All are very different, as i have been to all if them.

Chicagoland: The place that people go to say that they’ve been to Illinois. Where most of the snobs live, and is generally the better part of Illinois, as the rest stink.

Northern Illinois: A heaping pile of cheese and dumpster fires. You have rockford, which is one of the worst cities in the world, and also the quad cities, which are also terrible. Did i mention that freeport is also a dump? anyways, tge best thing you can find here is the fact that most of it is empty. I have seen rednecks doing beastiality to every animal on there fucking farms. I went to a mcdonalds here and I saw someone seasoning there big mac with cocaine. This part of Illinois might seem the worst from what youve read, but were just getting started.

Central Illinois: The place where you start to see less cubs fans and more cards fans. This place is heavily republican, just like Northern Illinois. Mostly just corn, more corn, and beastialtity. This is also the place where the colleges are, which are also dumps. Meth labs can be found anywhere here. Weed farms are common too. This isnt as bad as northern illinois, but still bad overall.

Southern Illinois: THE WORST PLACE ON EARTH. This is the meth lab capital of the world, incest is common, drunk rednecks are common, and etc. Earthquake are possible here too. Basically the south dont ever go here.
Bob: ayo you wanna go to Illinois?

Sam: wtf no i dont wanna see no meth labs and incest
