'''North Dakota''' is a northern Midwestern state that became the thirty-ninth state to enter into the union on November 2, 1889. It entered on the same day as [[South Dakota]], but is given status first because of alphabetical order. Its capital is Bismarck, and largest city by population is Fargo.North Dakota is the only state that has a state-owned bank in the nation.<ref>http://www.banknd.nd.gov/bndhome.jsp</ref> 
Its current political nature is an anomaly; while it has given its electoral votes to Republican Presidential candidates since 1968, usually by wide margins, voters have continued to elect all Democrats to both Houses of Congress.
