South Carolina is a state in the Southeastern United States. It is bordered to the north by North Carolina; to the south and west by Georgia, located across the Savannah River; and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.

South Carolina is the 40th most extensive and the 24th most populous of the 50 U.S. states. The capital and largest city of the state is Columbia.
