"The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (pronounced [pɛnsl̩ˈveɪnjə] or [pɛnsl̩ˈveɪniə]) is a state in the northeastern part of the United States.\n\n"Pennsylvania has been known as the Quaker State since 1776; prior to that, it was known as the Quaker Province,[2] in recognition of Quaker[3] William Penn's First Frame of Government[4] constitution for Pennsylvania that guaranteed liberty of conscience. Penn knew of the hostility[5] Quakers faced when they opposed rituals, oaths, violence, and ostentatious frippery.[6]\n\n"Pennsylvania has also been known as the Keystone State since 1802,[7] based in part upon its central location among the original Thirteen Colonies forming the United States.[7] Pennsylvania, however is not only geographically the keystone state, but economically as well, having both the industry common to the North, making such wares as Conestoga wagons[8] and rifles,[9] and the agriculture common to the South, producing feed, fiber, food, and tobacco.[10]"

Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are all technically commonwealths, not states.\n\nMy dictionary says that a commonwealth is "a nation or state governed by the people; a republic."\n\nAccording to the website referenced below, this means "a state (for lack of a better word) where local governments have precedence over regional. In other words, municipality legislation is "law of the land" over county policy, which matters more than state level decree."
