 # Provincial
+
+Provincial is a small library to quickly get a list of states or provinces from various countries.
+
+## Goal
+
+Ultimately, the goal of Provincial was to provide a quick way to get a list of US states and Canadian provinces. Instead of hardcoding a list of strings in an array, this library can provide a list of `State` objects that give basic information about each.
+
+## Requirements
+
+None.
+
+## Installation
+
+[![Version](https://img.shields.io/cocoapods/v/Provincial.svg?style=flat)](http://cocoapods.org/pods/Provincial)
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/cocoapods/l/Provincial.svg?style=flat)](http://cocoapods.org/pods/Provincial)
+[![Platform](https://img.shields.io/cocoapods/p/Provincial.svg?style=flat)](http://cocoapods.org/pods/Provincial)
+
+Provincial is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
+it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
+
+```ruby
+pod "Provincial"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+At the top of your .swift file:
+```
+import Provincial
+```
+
+To get a list of all US states:
+```
+let states = Provincial.states(in: .usa)
+```
+This returns a list of `PoliticalEntity` objects representing states.
+
+The `PoliticalEntity` protocol requires each to provide a `State` computed property. This `State` struct includes the name and abbreviation of each state. Thus, to print the name of all 50 US States, you could write:
+```
+for state in states {
+  print(state.info.name)
+}
+```
+
+States are listed by means of an enum. This can allow you to either check for specifics states while looping through a set, or to get individual information for a particular state.
+
+```
+let arizona = USState.arizona
+print(arizona.name)
+print(arizona.abbreviation)
+```
+
+It's also possible to filter or sort the array using Swift's built in `.filter` and `.sorted` methods.
+```
+let newestStates = states.sorted { $0.info.date > $1.info.date }
+```
