Kentucky, officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a landlocked state in the Southeastern region of the United States. It borders Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the north, West Virginia to the northeast, Virginia to the east, Tennessee to the south, and Missouri to the west. Its northern border is defined by the Ohio River. Its capital is Frankfort and its most populous city is Louisville.Wikipedia

Tennessee has become one of the most-watched states for domestic relocation. Nashville's explosive growth reflects its status as a major entertainment hub and Tennessee's zero personal income tax, while Chattanooga and Knoxville have built distinct identities around outdoor culture and post-industrial reinvention. The Great Smoky Mountains — the most visited national park in the country — anchor a regional tourism economy and define the geography of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina.

Kentucky sits at the confluence of Southern culture, Appalachian heritage, and Midwest pragmatism. Louisville's bourbon trail and horse country around Lexington give the state an identity that punches above its economic weight. West Virginia's New River Gorge and Seneca Rocks have drawn a new wave of outdoor tourists and remote workers, though much of the state continues to navigate the long-term economic consequences of coal's decline.
