About Massachusetts[]
Massachusetts has a long history, and signs of it can be found all over the state, particularly near the coast. Boston and its metropolitan area comprise the third-largest city in the nation. Massachusetts itself has the highest population density of all the provinces. People of European descent make up the majority of the population, with Aboriginal groups speaking various Algonquian languages making up most of the remainder until recently, when a swell of Orientals, Indians, and others have made New England their home.
Divisions[]
Massachusetts has numerous divisions, including counties, Semi-Autonomous Regions/Areas (SARs/SAAs), and Nature Preservation Areas (NPAs).
