Maine has the lowest population density of all the N.E. Provinces and has the third-lowest population of the provinces, after Vermont and Narragansett.
About Maine[]
Maine has the harshest climate of any New England provinces. This is due to its high latitude, which makes for frigid, long winters but nice warm (not hot) summers. Still, the province is not so cold as to be tundra or even taiga, and broadleaf deciduous trees make their home throughout the province, as well as evergreen coniferous trees. Most of Maine's population lives on or near the coast, with the towns of Machigonne and Kussinock being by far the largest settlements. The coast is populated by people of mostly European descent, while the interior is populated by Aboriginal groups, almost exclusively the Wabenaki (including the Passamaquoddy and Penobscots). Maine's Aroostook Nature Preservation Area is the second largest in New England, behind the West Virginia NPA in Virginia but ahead of the Adirondack NPA in New York.
Divisions[]
Maine has numerous divisions, including counties, Semi-Autonomous Regions/Areas (SARs/SAAs), and Nature Preservation Areas (NPAs).
