Oklahoma, USA

Oklahoma is a south-central U.S. state known for its wide-open plains, Native American history and sovereignty, energy production, agriculture, and severe-weather landscape. Its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City, while Tulsa is another major cultural and economic center. The state sits at a crossroads between the Great Plains, the South, and the Southwest, giving it a mix of prairie, forests, rolling hills, and urban centers. Oklahoma has a strong oil and natural gas legacy, a large tribal presence, major military and aerospace activity, and a cultural identity shaped by Indigenous nations, Route 66, country and folk traditions, college sports, and resilient communities accustomed to tornadoes, drought, and rapid weather changes.
