Indiana is a state bordering with the Michigan lake and with the states of Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. Its capital is Indianapolis, well-known for the fact that there is an important race track here.

The territory of the state is mainly flat, with only a few gentle hills in the area of Lake Michigan and with the exception of sand dunes in the north-western part.
Indiana was first discovered by French fur traders, and then by British landowners, who faced fighting with indigenous Indian tribes. After a stubborn resistance in the unequal battle of Tecumse, the Indians were forced to capitulate. After Indiana became part of the United States, Swiss, Poles, Germans, Czechs, and others also came from Europe. The economy has undergone significant changes, and in addition to corn and tobacco, the manufacturing industry has developed here, thanks to the exploitation of rivers as main routes.
