Idaho is a state in the Mountain West region of the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, easily identified by its distinctive "pointed" shape. To the west, it borders UsefulNotes/{{Washington}} and UsefulNotes/{{Oregon}}; to the south, UsefulNotes/{{Nevada}} and UsefulNotes/{{Utah}}; and to the east, UsefulNotes/{{Montana}} and UsefulNotes/{{Wyoming}}. It also shares a short border with British Columbia in UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} to the north. The etymology of the state's name is uncertain, but it's most likely [[PerfectlyCromulentWord completely made up]]. Attempts have been made to link it with an Apache word ''idaahe'' meaning "enemy territory" (in reference to the Comanche) -- slightly undercut by the fact that neither nation ever lived anywhere near the area. Its capital and largest city is Boise (which is pronounced "boy see," ''not'' "boy zee"), and three of the next four largest are the Boise suburbs/satellite cities of Meridian (2), Nampa (3), and Caldwell (5). Other significant cities include Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d'Alene, and Twin Falls.
