Illinois
lies in the Midwest on the Great Lakes and is politically dominated by the
massive Chicago urban center, yet for all the numbers of people in the City of
Chicago and Cook County in particular, Cook County remains a county like any
other, limited by its own geographic parameters.
This is
part of the genius of the American Way. Cook County may have far
more people in it than other counties in Illinois. It may be
wealthier by far. It may have different problems and different
options for solving its problems. At the end of the day, it’s still a county
circumscribed and limited by its own borders.
Like every other county in America, it may choose to conduct its day to
day business using an incorporated franchise of the United States, Inc. --- or
not.
