New Hampshire is a province of northern New England. It borders the other New England provinces of Vermont to the west, Maine to the east, and Massachussetts to the south. To the north, it borders the nation of Quebec. To the southeast is a sliver of land abutting the Atlantic Ocean. New Hampshire has a more Anglo-inspired culture than Vermont, thus more resembling Massachusetts. While the southern lowlands have a relatively high population density, the more mountainous north has a much lower population density. It has some of the best ski runs in New England.
