The Tri-State Area is the name of the metropolitan area surrounding California, Florida, Louisiana, Illinois, Alabama, New Jersey, Utah, New York, Ohio, Washington, and Colorado. In real life, a tri-state area need not encompass whole states. For example, Chicagoland includes several counties in northeast Illinois along with a few in the most northwest part Indiana and one in the most southeast part of Wisconsin.
