Kansas ( ) is a landlocked state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It borders Nebraska to the north; Colorado to the west; Oklahoma to the south; and Missouri to the east. Kansas is named after the Kansas River, in turn named after the Kansa people. Its capital is Topeka, and its most populous city is Wichita; however, the largest urban area is the bi-state Kansas City metropolitan area surrounding Kansas City, Missouri, which straddles the border of Kansas and Missouri.
