California: The State That's Not a State
Let's clear something up right away: California is a state, not a country. It's like asking which country is in France. It's a classic case of geographical confusion, probably caused by too much time watching those surfer dude movies.

So, to answer your question, California contains:

- Landmarks: Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood Sign, Yosemite National Park, Disneyland, and more.

California: The State of Confusion (for Some)
If you're still confused, you're not alone. Many people seem to have a hard time grasping the concept of California being a state. We've heard it all:
- "Is California a country?"
- "Isn't California in Mexico?"
- "Can I drive to California from Europe?"
Let's be clear: California is a state in the United States of America. It's on the West Coast, bordering Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico.
