Capital and largest city: Providence.
Nickname: "The Ocean State" (due to its coastline of over 640 km and Narragansett Bay).
Current characteristics: Rhode Island has a rich history in the textile industry (birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America), but is now known for tourism, universities (such as Brown University), beautiful coastal towns like Newport, and fresh seafood.
It is compact, densely populated, and strongly connected to the ocean.
In short: a tiny but historically significant state with a lot of character – often affectionately called "the greatest little state."
