Geography
{{further|List of Nevada counties}} {{ussm|nevada.png|nv}} Nevada has borders with Oregon and Idaho to the north; California to the west; Arizona to the southeast; and Utah to the east. The border with Arizona includes the Colorado River (U.S.) Colorado River and Hoover Dam. It is in a mountainous region that includes semiarid grasslands, lush alpine forests, and sandy deserts, and is the most arid state in the nation. Nevada is a land of rugged, snow-capped mountains, grassy valleys and sandy deserts. The northern and central portions of Nevada are mostly within the Great Basin Desert, while portions of the southern tip are within the Mojave Desert. {{seealso|list of mountain ranges of Nevada}} Negotiations are currently underway for Nevada to annex Wendover, Utah, which would be merged with West Wendover, Nevada. This deal will require the permission of both the Nevada and Utah legislatures and the U.S. Congress. Areas maintained by the National Park Service include: *California National Historic Trail *Death Valley National Park *Great Basin National Park near Baker, Nevada Baker *Lake Mead National Recreation Area *Old Spanish National Historic Trail *Pony Express National Historic Trail

History
Derived from the Priest Kino expeditions at the end of the XVII century through north Mexico and south U.S., Nevada passed to Spanish control, belonging to the Viceroyalty of New Spain. In 1821 became part of the First Mexican Empire of Agustin de Iturbide, until 1823, and afterwards of Mexico. As a result of the Mexico-American war of 1847-48 and based on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty, Nevada became part of the United States. On August 14, 1850, the Congress of the United States U.S. Congress established the Utah territory which included the present day states of Utah, Idaho and Nevada. 1859 saw the discovery of the Comstock Lode, a rich outcropping of gold and silver, and Virginia City, Nevada Virginia City sprang up. This discovery brought a flood of miners, prospectors, merchants and others hoping to strike it rich. On March 2, 1861, Nevada separated from the Utah territory and adopted its current name, shortened from ''Sierra Nevada'' (Spanish language Spanish for "snowy range"). On October 31, 1864, just eight days prior to the U.S. presidential election, 1864 presidential election, Nevada became the 36th state in the union. Statehood was rushed through despite Nevada's tiny population to help ensure Abraham Lincoln's reelection and post-Civil War United States Republican Party Republican dominance in congress. As Nevada's mining-based economy tied it to the more industrialized Union (American Civil War) Union, it was viewed as politically reliable (as opposed to the more agrarian and Confederate States of America Confederate-sympathizing California). Nevada achieved its current boundaries on May 5, 1866 when it absorbed the portion of Pah-Ute County, Arizona Pah-Ute County in the Arizona Territory west of the Colorado River. The transfer was prompted by the discovery of gold in the area, and it was thought that Nevada would be better able to oversee the expected population boom. This area includes most of what is now Clark County, Nevada. Mining shaped Nevada's economy for many years. In the late 19th century, the Comstock Lode played out, and Nevada went into a tailspin. There was even talk of stripping away statehood, the only time in American history such an action was discussed in Congress. However, the rich silver strike at Tonopah in 1900 helped save the state. This was soon followed by strikes in Goldfield and Rhyolite, Nevada Rhyolite in the following years. These strikes lasted well into the 1910s and made Nevada a dominant player in mining once again. Over 87% of the land is owned by the Federal Government. The primary reason for this is that homestead principle homesteads were not permitted in large enough sizes to be viable in the arid conditions that prevail throughout Nevada. Instead, early settlers would homestead land surrounding a water source, and then graze livestock on the adjacent public land, which is useless for agriculture without access to water (this pattern of ranching still prevails). The deficiencies in the Homestead Act as applied to Nevada were probably due to a lack of understanding of the Nevada environment, although some firebrands (so-called "Sagebrush Rebels") maintain that it was due to pressure from mining interests to keep land out of the hands of common folk. Gambling was common in the early Nevada mining towns but was outlawed in 1909 as part of a nation-wide anti-gaming crusade. Due to a sharp decline in mining output in the 1920s and the decline of the agricultural sector during the Great Depression, Nevada re-legalized gambling on March 19, 1931, when senate bill 98 was signed into law. At the time, the leading proponents of gambling expected that it would be a short term fix until the state's economic base widened to include less cyclical industries. However, re-outlawing gambling has never been seriously considered since.

Unusual laws
In 1900, Nevada's population was the smallest of all states and was shrinking, as the difficulties of living in a "barren desert" began to outweigh the lure of silver for many early settlers. Historian Lawrence Friedman has explained what happened next: :Nevada, in a burst of ingenuity, built an economy by exploiting its sovereignty. Its strategy was to legalize all sorts of things that were illegal in California ... [a]fter easy divorce came easy marriage and casino gambling. Even prostitution is legal in Nevada, in any county that decides to allow it. Quite a few of them do. {{ref|friedman}} Nevada's early reputation as a "divorce haven" arose from the fact that prior to the no-fault divorce revolution in the 1970s, divorces were quite difficult to obtain in the United States. To boost its fragile economy, Nevada adopted one of the most liberal divorce statutes in the nation. This resulted in ''Williams v. North Carolina'', {{ussc.html">U.S. Supreme Court ruled that North Carolina had to give "Full Faith and Credit Clause full faith and credit.html" title="Meaning of 287|1942}},_in which the full faith and credit">full faith and credit" to a Nevada divorce. Nevada is currently the only state that has different ages of consent for different sexual practices. An adult may have "ordinary sexual intercourse, anal intercourse, cunnilingus or fellatio" with another person that is 16 years old or older (Nevada Revised Statutes NRS 200.364); however a different law makes it illegal to incite, entice, or solicit any minor (a person under 18) to engage in the "infamous crime against nature". (NRS 201.195). (''See also:'' Age of Consent).

Politics
Due to the tremendous growth of Las Vegas, Nevada Las Vegas in recent years, there is a noticeable divide between politics of northern and southern Nevada. The north has long maintained control of key positions in the state government even while the Las Vegas area is larger than the rest of the state (the "cow counties"). This has fostered resentment as the north sees the south as a potential bully of majority rule and the south sees the north as the "old guard" trying to rule as an oligarchy. Most people outside the state are not familiar with this rivalry. The state is not dominated by either major political party. Democrat Bill Clinton won the state in the United States presidential election, 1992 1992 and 1996 presidential election 1996 presidential elections and Republican George W. Bush George Bush won Nevada in 2000 US Presidential Election 2000 and 2004 US Presidential Election 2004. In 2004, George Bush narrowly won the state's 5 electoral votes by a margin of 2 percentage points with 50.5% of the vote. Las Vegas' Clark County, which contains the majority of the state's population, was the only county to vote Democratic.

Miscellaneous topics
Image:Nv_tourism.jpg Nevada's nickname is "The Silver State" or "The Sagebrush State", and the state's motto is "All for Our Country". "Home Means Nevada" by Bertha Rafetto is the state song. The phrase "Battle Born" is on the state flag; "The Battle Born State" is the official state slogan, as Nevada was admitted into the union during the American Civil War. Although the name is derived from the Spanish word ''nevada'' meaning "snowy", the local pronunciation of the state's name is not (in IPA) {{IPA|[nəˈvɑdə]}}, but {{IPA|[nəˈvædə]}}. Residents often regard the pronunciation as a test of whether visitors such as presidential candidates, have informed themselves about the state. In 2005, the state issued a new series of license plates that list the name of the state as '''NevÄƒda''' to help with the pronunciation problem. Several United States Navy ships have been named USS Nevada USS ''Nevada'' in honor of the state. Nevada is the only state with legalized prostitution. {{further|Prostitution in Nevada}} Nevada is also reputedly the home of Area 51, a top-secret installation of which the U.S. federal government has always denied existance.
