'''New Jersey''' is the fourth smallest state in the US, but it is also the eleventh most populated and the most densely populated, being home to more people than [[New York City]]. It has a high level of ethnic and religious diversity, being home to Italians, Irish, Jews, [[Russia]]ns, Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, [[Jamaica]]ns, Haitians, [[Guyana|Guyanese]], Trinidadians, etc. in large numbers. Its landscape is also highly diverse, especially for a state of its size, being home to forests, mountains, swamps, cliffs, white sand beaches, and miles of rolling farmland. It is the location of several military facilities, including one of the largest in the country, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. It is the second most affluent state in the US, and possesses one of the most highly-regarded [[American Educational System|education systems]] in the country. There are affluent suburbs, bustling cities, and lush dairy farms all within a few miles of each other. Plus it is home to [[wikipedia:Pine Valley Golf Club|the best golf course in the world.]] In short, it's one of the most diverse states, filled to the brim with a plethora of different cultures and lifestyles.
