Superior (state) (Alternity)

North Michigan (NM) is a state located in the Great Lakes' Region of the United States. Admitted to the Union as the 28th state on January 26, 1837, the state is a popular tourist destination, as well as a major source of timber and even moderate amounts of copper from local clean mines. North Michigan's Huron Mountains, specifically the 5300-foot Mount Arvon, contain a series of ski resorts, popular with both locals and year-round tourists due to the height of the mountains and monthly lake effect snows. The state is also notorious as the birthplace of serial killer Charles Himer, who brutally murdered thirty-seven people across the nation from the summer of 1956 to the fall of 1971.

The state's northernmost county, Keweenaw County, officially administers the Lake Superior island of Isle Royale, which technically has no permanent residents, but is home to numerous US Army, USAF, and Coast Guard personnel of Joint Base Royale, which monitors and if necessary, responds to Canadian breaches of US territorial waters and airspace in Lake Superior.
