'''Illinois''' was the twenty-first state to enter into the [[union]]. Its capital is [[Springfield]], and the largest city is [[Chicago]]. Illinois is bordered by [[Indiana]], [[Kentucky]], [[Michigan]],[[Missouri]], [[Iowa]], and [[Wisconsin]]. It is considered to be one of the most corrupt states in the nation.

==Politics==

Illinois can be viewed as having a more [[liberal]] concentration in the northeastern portion of the state. This is often attributed to the large metropolitan area surrounding [[Chicago]]. In contrast, the southern and western portions of the state are typically more [[conservative]]. The state capitol is [[Springfield, Illinois|Springfield]], and there is political tension about state lawmakers who spend too much of their time in either Chicago, Champaign-Urbana, or Springfield.

The population distribution has led Illinois to lean politically to the [[left]] in most recent non-local elections. Many consider Illinois to be a liberal stronghold, especially in regard to [[presidential]] elections.

Currently, Illinois has a [[Democratic]] governor, [[Patrick Joseph Quinn]], but has elected [[Republican]] governors in the recent past, such as [[George Ryan]], who controversially emptied the state's death row after an investigation by [[Northwestern University]] law students proved that one death row inmate was innocent.<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/11/illinois.death.row/</ref> Critics charged that he only did so to gain sympathy because he was about to be tried for [[corruption]] and selling [[commercial driver's license]]s when he was the [[Illinois Secretary of State]].
