Florida is the 22nd-most extensive, the 3rd-most populous, and the 8th-most densely populated of the U.S. states.

Australian head of state dispute
The Australian head of state dispute refers to ongoing debate as to who is considered to be the head of state of Australiathe Monarch or the Governor-General. Head of state is a description used in official sources for the monarch. The Australian constitution does not mention the term "head of state". In discussion it has been used for describing the person who holds the highest rank among the officers of government. A number of writers, most notably David Smith, have argued that the term is better used to describe the governor-general. Some others and some publications in Australia have also referred to the governor-general as the head of state.
State Roads in the Florida Keys
Since the opening of the Overseas Highway in 1938, the set of State Roads in Florida, USA, serving the Florida Keys has been a small one. Currently only two such roads designated by Florida Department of Transportation are located on the string of islands in Monroe County, Florida, and only eight other State Roads have been designated, but have since been reverted to Monroe County maintenance (at least two of the former State Roads still have the old SR signs on the edge of their shoulders and it is likely that one of them was never signed). State Road A1A: South Roosevelt Boulevard from Bertha Street to the Overseas Highway (US 1) in Key West is the southernmost of seven discontiguous segments of SR A1A in Florida (in fact, it is the southernmost state-designated highway of the contiguous United States).
