The Land of Lincoln on US licence plates since 1954 (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illinois

(Other definitions for illinois that I've seen before include "Oil is nil, strangely, in this state" , "US state by L. Michigan" , "US state and river" , "Chicago state" , "State to west of Indiana" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
