Borders, rivers and the coast has the survey line Georgia still disputes. State symbols, wildlife and museums has the brown thrasher, the gopher tortoise and an invasive lizard.

Questions and answers
Are these Georgia trivia questions and answers checked?
Yes, in the Wikipedia article on the U.S. state of Georgia, read on October 3, 2026. The Treaty of Beaufort is asked without its year, because the treaty's own article gives a different one. Brands, films, songs, living people and casualty figures are left out.
What is Georgia's state bird?
The brown thrasher. The state reptile is the gopher tortoise, the state tree the live oak, the state crop the peanut and the state marine mammal the right whale.
Who founded Georgia?
The British general James Oglethorpe established the Province of Georgia at Savannah on February 12, 1733. The Trustees ran the colony until 1752, when they turned control over to the crown.
Is this about the country of Georgia?
No. Every question is about the U.S. state of Georgia, from the colony founded at Savannah in 1733 to its state symbols.
