Montana

right|300px
-Fourth largest state but has the third lowest population density. He doesn't seem to mind, though, and has great self esteem.
-He rather likes having few people and is proud of the wide open spaces in his lands. He thinks it brings out the beauty of his home.
-Only state to share a border with Alberta and he also shares a border with Saskatchewan. He seems to get along pretty well with them. Neighborly relationships although I'm not sure if they're really friends yet. (So far it looks like Montana is closer to Alberta although they do have some water disputes.)
-North and South Dakota hang out around him quite a bit. Wyoming likes his company because he has a low population, too, so she doesn't feel like he's judging her. His laid back personality and calm acceptance of the population issue also makes her feel better about her own situation. He tends to get roped into Wyoming's misadventures.
-His land was bought during the Louisiana purchase. Born around 1841 at St. Marry's Mission and became the Montana Territory in 1864.
-Cattle ranching has historically been important to Montana's culture and economy.
-He's a manly man. Likes to have his space. He's not super friendly because he's more interested in being a loner, but he's very patient with those he's either accepted as friends or people he just can't get rid of. Montana is actually very open minded and is willing to listen to someone even if he doesn't agree with them.
-For a long time Montana's daytime speed limit was whatever seemed "reasonable and prudent" on rural roads. So... no real speed limit until around 1999. (Need to fact check the exact date he actually got a speed limit. Speed limit laws through out the US are actually pretty neat. Might look into them all later.)
-Has a Sister-State relationship with Kumamoto Prefecture. They have a pretty interesting relationship but I don't have time to go into it right now. Later.
