[edit] About New York
New York is traditionally mostly Algonquian around the Atlantic seaboard, and Iroquoian towards the Great Canada River. However, Algonquians predominate in the state, mostly because some Iroquois factions ceceded from New York State to form a separate country. New York is one of the mid-Atlantic provinces and thus enjoys a nice climate, though the winters are often quite cold. New York has the third-largest single Nature Preservation Area in New England, after Virginia and Maine. The Adirondack Provincial Park protects a great swath of forest, and much of the area is under the "Forever Wild" clause in the New York Constitution, the first area in New England to be designated as such.
[edit] Divisions
New York has numerous divisions, including counties, Semi-Autonomous Regions/Areas (SARs/SAAs), and Nature Preservation Areas (NPAs).
