#' @name lookup.states
#' @docType data
#' @aliases lookup.states, states
#' @title States and related areas dataset
#' @description This data set provides a variety of fields for US States, DC, PR, and Island Areas,
#'  including FIPS codes and area in square miles or square kilometers, for example, from the Census Bureau.
#' @details For information on FIPS codes, see \url{http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/ansi.html},
#'   and also see \url{https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/geoidentifiers.html} \cr\cr
#'   Regarding Island Areas see \url{http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_island.html} which states the following: 
#'   Separate from the Island Areas is the term "U.S. Minor Outlying Islands."  
#'   The Island Areas of the United States are 
#'     American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Northern Mariana Islands), and the United States Virgin Islands.
#'   The U.S. Minor Outlying Islands refers to certain small islands under U.S. jurisdiction in the Caribbean and Pacific:  
#'     Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Navassa Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Island.  
#'     These areas usually are not part of standard data products.
#' @seealso \code{\link[ejanalysis]{get.state.info}} in \pkg{ejanalysis} package (\url{http://ejanalysis.github.io/ejanalysis/}),
#'   and \code{\link{state.abb}} via \code{data(state)} 
#' @source Derived from \url{https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/state-area.html} (for area data in square miles etc.)
#'   obtained 4/2015, and FIPS codes from Census Bureau, but 
#'   other than the exact areas in square km, this table would be the same for Census 2020. 
#' @keywords datasets
#' @format A data.frame with 58 rows (States etc.) and 26 columns (variables like statename).
