What state is farthest from Georgia in the U.S.?
Washington State - it's about 2800 miles, depending, of course, on where you measure from.
What are people from the state of Georgia like?
Let’s see. There are about 10 Million people in Georgia. The rest are just made up stats.About 5 million of us text and drive or even watch YouTube and drive.We sometimes watch videos “How to drive in the snow and ice” when driving in the ice and snow storms. I just assume this would be a logical search or video to watch.Given 10 million people, I assume we have some murderers hiding in there. Let’s see, 200 murderers sound fair?About 8 million love footballI’ve seen only 2 people chew tobacco. I’m sure there are more.I love soccer, I know my neighbour does as well so some rough estimating should tell us about 50 people really like soccer.While we have plenty of highways and roads here in Georgia, all 10 million people like to drive on just 4, at the same time. Even the toddlers. I swear I saw a Little Tikes on 285 with his left blinker on for 5 miles.Racially, we are a melting pot. The closer you get to Ikea, the more melty it gets. The farther away from the city, the less melty it is.I would say about 8 million are just nice - does that sound about right? So the remaining 2 million are possibly just rude people. For no reason, they’d flick you off or yell at you. I just assume this.The 200 murderers could be in the nice category or rude categoryI’ve seen a lot of old people at Golden Corral.. so I would venture we have about 2 million old people?We have one rich guy who owns a Lamborghini. We could have more, I’ve seen only one. We have about 600 who can’t afford a Lamborghini so they settle for a Corvette. Why not take a jab :)Hope that helps you out. Gives you some understanding about the 10 million or so people of the state of Georgia.
What are some differences between the US states Georgia and Alabama?
Georgia has about twice as many people, thanks to the Atlanta metropolitan area. While the city of Atlanta itself is only about 400,000 people, it serves as the core of a metropolitan area more than thirteen times that large. Metro Atlanta has a high percentage of inhabitants from outside the South, and from outside the United States, which gives it a somewhat more cosmopolitan feel, though maybe not as cosmopolitan as its boosters would have you believe. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is one of the world’s busiest.Georgians sometimes say that there are three Georgias. The first is Metro Atlanta. Sorry, but Birmingham just isn’t comparable in size or cultural variety, though it certainly has merits of its own. The second is the smaller cities like Macon, Savannah, Columbus, and Augusta, all of which have a distinct character, with a slower pace than Atlanta but with surprising diversity and appeal. Alabama has cities like this, with Mobile, Montgomery, and Huntsville being especially interesting places to be. The third is rural Georgia, which is very similar to analogous portions of Alabama and Mississippi. Arkansas too, for that matter. Poor, and with few prospects for escaping that poverty.
What is it like to live in Georgia USA?
Well there's Atlanta and then there's the rest of Georgia. The city of Atlanta, like any major American city has plenty of congestion, crime and corruption. There are plenty of major corporations and big businesses and industries making their home in Atlanta and it is a very nice place to live and work if you can afford the big city lifestyle. Beautiful homes, lovely neighborhoods and some very good universities. North Georgia is hilly with the Blue Ridge Mountains ending just north of Atlanta so you've got some beautiful scenery, lovey lakes, streams and rivers and nice small towns scattered about in the north Goergia mountains. All the major carpeting and flooring companies in the US are centered in north Georgia. South of Atlanta the topography begins to flattens out into a large piedmont region of the state and this is where all of the agriculture that built the state is located. Farming, cattle, wood products are the major agri-businesses. Very rural, mostly flat and the essence of southern culture. A small town way of life, strong religious roots and proud heritage defines the people of the piedmont. At the southern end of Georgia you've got swamps, more flat lands and further east you eventually hit the Atlantic coast in Savannah. The port of Savannah is one of the busiest in the nation.
Why did Georgia name its country after a US state?
The Kingdom of Georgia was first unified under Bagrat III in the 8th or 9th century.It flourished from the 10C to 12C but fell to the Mongols in 1243. It briefly re-emerged in the 15C and then was torn apart into a number of smaller states.It was annexed by the Russians in 1801, was briefly independent after the First World War and by 1922 was firmly under the control of the Soviets.The flag of Georgia, like the flag of England, is based on the Cross of St George (the dragonslayer).The American state was founded in 1733 and named after its king, George II.
What is it like to live in Georgia?
I live in Georgia, Tbilisi, with my beautiful wife, more than 6 years. We migrated to Georgia from Russian Federation, so this is an answer from foreigner point of view.I will concentrate my answer over one approach how you can settle in Georgia if you want live here.In Tbilisi and other cities internet connection is mostly good and sometimes very well and cheap. There are some options for buying a cheap apartments in far district, one of which we used.The prices for real estate depends mostly by district - in poorly developed district you can get cheaper and even larger apartment, but if you need better developed district like Saburtalo or Vake, or even want live in City center, near the Old Tbilisi, or want buy new apartment, be ready to pay more.The easier way to find a job is to be an IT specialist and work online/remotely.I opened an LLC, and working as a programmer via Upwork freelancing website. I used that LLC to get the residence permit.Taxes here are entrepreneur-friendly here, so no sense to hide income from the revenue service or do similar fraud here in Georgia. Although I heard that many people still prefer to hide their activity from government and do not pay even these relatively small taxes. Probably this is part of “Soviet legacy”.I do not try to integrate deeply into Georgian society, but anyway, we notice as Georgian society evolve. For example, the religiousness around us shrinks step by step. Probably this is result of some moral crisis within Orthodox church, but this is a long story to talk about.People are kind here. But they can ask a way too much private questions, like “Where are you from?”. May be this can be caused by the fact that many people who living in Tbilisi now lived in villages recently, and therefore relations between people are closer, I mean they think they sure they can know more about each other. This can have other side: it is easier to get help from people. I hope that privacy will be more respected over time, but if you more open person than me, this even can add some social taste in living here in Georgia
What is Georgia like?
try to line a job up before moving here.If you work in atlanta or close the wages are better than in the out lying areas.I hate cold weather, so we dont have alot of that.Some winters, december, jan, feb, and march are rather cool, but no hard freezes in the single digits or 3 or 4 inch ice storms.We sometimes have a snow covering, maybe an inch of ice for a few hours,but there are ALOT more warm months than cold ones.July and august tend to be high 70-80 a few days per year drifting up to 90-95 usually in late july.Everything is withn reach here.You can live in one of the out lying bedroom communities of atlanta where there are farms with cows and small towns with 15-20 thousand people or you can live down town atlanta with crime and the marta rail system and travel by that, however it is DANGEROUS.Alot of thugs ride and rob the train.IT is RATHER DANGEROUS...If you get outside the rat hole of atlanta, its pretty nice...If you work down town th morning commutes are jammed in rush hour traffic, but 9 am on till about 230 pm, you can move about as you want.Plenty to do here lots of history,come on down
Why is a small state like Georgia is important for the USA?
If you are talking about the state Georgia then the first thing I'd say is that it is far from being small. It has the 8th largest population and is the biggest state East of the Mississippi River. The capital city, Atlanta, is the 9th largest metropolitan area in the United States. Why is it important? Well for starters, Georgia is home to over 10 million Americans. Economically if Georgia was it's own country it would have the 28th biggest economy in the world. It is home to 18 Fortune 500 companies. Georgia is also a major exporter of pecans, blueberries, and chicken (Gainsville, Ga is considered the poultry capital of the world). Georgia has a film industry worth over a billion dollars. Savannah is home of the fourth largest port in the United States. Hartsfield Jackson International Airport is the biggest in the world meaning that millions of people travel through Atlanta every year. Georgia also has many U.S. military bases including Fort Benning, one of the largest bases in the country. Overall Georgia is very important to the U.S. and isn't very small.
How did Georgia become part of the United States?
After American independence had been won, Georgia was the first Southern state to ratify (1788) the Constitution. Georgia came into conflict with the federal government over states' rights when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in Chisholm v. Georgia (1793), that an individual could sue a state, a decision equally distasteful to other states as well as to Georgia. (This decision was later nullified by the Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.) Further difficulties with the federal government stemmed from the related issues of the removal of Native Americans and land speculation centering around the Yazoo land fraud. In the midst of the Yazoo controversy, Georgia ceded (1802) its western lands to the United States in return for $1,250,000 and a pledge that the Native Americans would be removed from Georgia lands. By 1826 the Creek had yielded their lands, but in 1827, the Cherokee set themselves up as an independent nation. The U.S. Supreme Court held (1832) that the state had no jurisdiction over the Cherokee, but President Jackson declined to support the Chief Justice, and in 1838 the Cherokee were forced to migrate west to government land in present day Oklahoma. The path of their journey is known as the Trail of Tears.
