Your Definition

A northeastern state in the USA that is part of the New England region. Other than being the smallest state in the country, it's not that different from other mid-north Atlantic states. Rhode Island's geography consists of beaches and temperate woods, and the topography is relatively flat except for a few hills and rocky outcrops. The Narragansett Bay is located in the eastern half of the state along with most of the population while the western half of the state is somewhat remote with a classic rustic atmosphere.

To answer the three most common questions Rhode Islanders are asked:

1. Yes, we're well aware that Rhode Island is not an island. The official name is "Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations", referring to what is now known as Aquidneck Island and the mainland portion of the state. We shortened it.

2. Yes, there is a reason Rhode Island is small. Back in Colonial America, the colonies of Connecticut and Massachusetts controlled the area surrounding where Rhode island currently exists. So unlike other colonies that had elbow room to expand, the Rhode island colony was limited to a wedge of spare land between Connecticut and Massachusetts.

3. No, Quahog is not a real place; a quahog is actually a species of edible clam found all along the Eastern seaboard. The fictional town depicted in Family [Guy] is based off of the city of Cranston, which is directly southwest of the state capitol, Providence.
