Nevada, FNV

Nevada is a state located in Free Nevada, best known for its widespread legalization of gambling, the gaming industry and prostitution, which itself is legal in no other state. The Capital is Las Vegas.

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.
