New Mexico, known as the "Land of Enchantment," is a state rich in unique history and geographical diversity. First, its capital, Santa Fe, is the highest capital city in the United States, sitting at over 7,000 feet above sea level. Second, New Mexico has more PhDs per capita than any other state, largely due to the presence of national research laboratories like Los Alamos and Sandia. Third, it is the site of the world's first atomic bomb detonation, which occurred at the Trinity Site in 1945. Fourth, the state is home to the world's largest hot air balloon festival, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which attracts over 500 balloons every October. Fifth, New Mexico is the only state in the U.S. with an official "State Question": "Red or Green?" which refers to the choice of chile sauce offered with almost every meal. These facts reflect a culture that is deeply tied to both cutting-edge scientific innovation and centuries-old Spanish and Native American traditions.
