The State of Florida is located in the southeastern corner of the United States. Nicknamed the “Sunshine State” due to its magnificent year round weather conditions, Florida is home to more than 18 million residents, making it the fourth largest state in the country. Although the state’s largest city in terms of size is Jacksonville, the Miami area is Florida’s largest metropolitan district, and the state capital is Tallahassee.

Known for such things as its beaches, its attractions and theme parks, its weather, its status as a spring break hot spot, and its oranges and grapefruits, Florida is famous for many reasons. With a wealth of history, plenty of family friendly activities and a number of great cities to explore, such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Key West, Jacksonville, Daytona, St. Augustine and more, Florida is a great place to visit or call home.

State Government Information
Similar to the organizational structure of the federal government, the State of Florida has three separate and relatively independent parts: the executive, legislative and judicial branches. In accordance with the Florida State Constitution, each branch has its own responsibilities, but a system of checks and balances from the other branches influences each governmental part.

The Florida State Capitol, located in Tallahassee, houses the state’s executive and legislative offices. The Capitol is also home to the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives. The Florida State Capitol is located at 400 South Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL‎ 32399. The Florida Supreme Court is located at 500 South Duval Street, Tallahassee, FL‎ 32399, very close to the Capitol.
