It's the freakin' beach*!

[quote name='Randazzo']It's the freakin' beach*!

[size=1]* - Not necessarily correct[/size][/QUOTE]Bingo! Well, or the coast more generally.

[I]Two great states meet[/I] - solid land and liquid sea
[I]in ceaseless war,[/I] - constant erosion and deposition of land
[I]Those of one seek treasure galore,[/I] - people, from the land, fish, drill for oil, etc
[I]Or perhaps just some tranquil moments[/I] - we want calm seas to sail on
[I]from the other who knows only violence.[/I] - the sea can be very violent
[I]The border shifts with gain and loss,[/I] - again, erosion and deposition shifting the coastline
[I]Though some say its measure's meaningless.[/I] - [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox[/url]
[I]On this battlefield many come,
To work and toil, or just for fun.[/I] - Loads of people work on the coast and it's also popular for tourism
[I]Much is written in web and press,[/I] - Pretty much what it says. Generic I suppose.
[I]So don't you know what is this mess?[/I] Largely filler, but the coastline can be described as "mess" on many levels

[Randazzo]

Yep, this one is obvious. Unless it's some sort of bluff, it's the letter e.
