Hey Rodrigo, Have you looked inside db/seeds.rb? That file demonstrates seeding a City model. Other things you can do, depending on what you need the data to look like are simple things like:
states = %w[Alabama Alaska Arkansas] I also think Ryan did a railscast on models that don't exist in the database, in case you need more model-like behavior than an array of strings would give you. Good luck!
