The Congressional Quarterly and Census report place Oklahoma in the Southern United States. Oklahoma is a major fuel and food-producing state; thousands of oil and natural gas wells dot the Oklahoma landscape, and the state is among the highest food producing states in the nation. Oklahoma is unusual in that it has two courts of last resort, the state Supreme Court hears civil cases, and the state Court of Criminal Appeals hears criminal cases (the state of Texas uses a similar system). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Oklahoma   (5945 words)
