The second largest state in the Commonwealth of Australia and the only state where most people don't live in the capital city, (in this case Brisbane). The only part of Australia to share a border with another country (Papua New Guinea). The birthplace of the ALP and the first place in the world to have socialists in government. It is described by the tourist bureaux as "Beautiful one day, perfect the next" which appears to be newspeak for "Very hot and dry almost all the time"
