Oregon (pop: 3,421,399), the “Beaver State”, in the Pacific Northwest has one of the most diverse landscapes in the nation and is well known for its tall, dense forests and its accessible, scenic Pacific coastline.

Oregon is known by some as "God's country" due to its verdant valleys, pristine coasts and largely unspoiled forests. The Willamette Valley is very fertile and, coupled with Oregon's famous rain, gives the state a wealth of agricultural products, including cattle, dairy products, potatoes, peppermint, and apples and other fruits. The capital is Salem and the largest city is Portland.

High technology industries and services have been a major employer since the 1970s and led to the establishment of the Portland metropolitan area as the 'Silicon Forest'.
