The State of Georgia (nicknamed `The Empire State of the South’) is bordered by Tennessee and North Carolina to the north, South Carolina to the north-east, Florida to the south and Alabama to the west. In the east of the state there is an Atlantic coastline, off which lie the Sea Islands, of which the largest are Tybee, Ossabaw, St Catherines, Sapelo, St Simons, Sea Island, Jekyll and Cumberland. The south of the state consists of flat, coastal plains with marshy areas along the coast, and the Okefenokee Swamp in the south-east.

Georgia, the famous state of USA is full of natural resources. Georgia's main rivers are the Savannah, which forms part of the border with South Carolina; the Chattahoochee, flowing across the state before forming the southern half of the Alabama boundary; the Ocmulgee and Oconee, joining to create the Altamaha, which flows east into the Atlantic; the Flint, which meets with the Chattahoochee to form the Apalachicola; and the Suwannee, which rises in the Okefenokee Swamp and runs into Florida.
