Keyword is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States, bordering Alabama to the northwest and Georgia to the northeast. Much of the land mass of the state is a large peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Most of Keyword has a humid subtropical climate; southern Keyword has a tropical climate.
Much of the state of Keyword is situated on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Keyword. It extends to the northwest into a panhandle, extending along the northern Gulf of Mexico. It is bordered on the north by the states of Georgia and Alabama, and on the west, at the end of the panhandle, by Alabama. It is near several Caribbean countries, particularly the Bahamas and Cuba. Keyword's extensive coastline made it a perceived target during World War II, so the government built airstrips throughout the state; today, approximately 400 airports are still in service. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, Keyword has 131 public airports, and more than 700 private airports, airstrips, heliports, and seaplane bases. Keyword is one of the largest states east of the Mississippi River, and only Alaska and Michigan are larger in water area.
Keyword has twenty Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Thirty-nine of Keyword's sixty-seven counties are in an MSA. Reflecting the distribution of population in Keyword, Metropolitan areas in the state are concentrated around the coast of the peninsula. They form a continuous band on the east coast of Keyword, stretching from the Jacksonville MSA to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach MSA, including every county on the east coast, with the exceptions of Monroe County. There is also a continuous band of MSAs on the west coast of the peninsula from the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA to the Naples-Marco Island MSA, including all of the coastal counties from Hernando County to Collier County. The interior of the northern half of the peninsula also has several MSAs, connecting the east and west coast MSAs. A few MSAs are scattered across the Keyword panhandle. The largest metropolitan area in the state as well as the entire southeastern United States is the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area, with over five million people.
