Minnesota is located in the north-central region of North America and it's the 12th largest state in America, consisting of a landmass that totals nearly 87,000 square miles. The region is split up into several sectors, ranging from large, widespread fields to flourishing metropolitan areas. The northwest area is home to the Mississippi River, which recedes starting from Minnesota, before stretching across various states such as Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. Other notable landmarks around the state include the F. Scott Fitzgerald house, Lutheran Christ Church, the Hull-Rust-Mahoning Open Pit Iron Mine and the St. Croix Boom Site, just to name a few.

The state's major cities include Minneapolis, which is its largest city, along with the capital of Saint Paul, Eden Prairie, Osseo, Rochester and Burnsville. The surrounding major counties situated in Minnesota are Hennepin County, Olmsted County, Stearns County, Anoka County and Carver County.

The commercial fishing industry generates its profits through the regular exportation of carp, catfish and buffalo fish. Much of this activity occurs in the Mississippi River, where much of this seafood can be found. The manufacturing industry's most profitable sector is in the production of computer equipment, along with the packaging of food products, such as vegetables, frozen goods and dairy products. Other areas include the production of stationary goods such as paper and tape, along with the production of equipment for transportation vehicles.
