  • What is the "Texas" of your country?

    Slowwwhand and George W. Bush's fame/infamy have given most of the world what kind of a place Texas is.

    Now, does every country have such a place, and what are they like?

      Finland is not part of a country -- it's a country unto itself.

      But would there be a distinct cultural region within Finland? I would say so -- the Laaplands.

            Not so -- it has become much more integrated in United States ever since NAFTA in the 1990s.

              In Australia, Queensland, mainly thanks to someone who made a die hard Afrikaaner Broederbond member look like a gay Green senator:

              They still have people who think that the best place for a Koori/Aboriginal is a jail cell- or Northern Territory.


              In Great Britain, Yorkshire. The rest of Great Britain gets heartily nauseous at the likes of Geoffrey Boycott explaining just how wonderful Yorkshire is, how the best food comes from there, how they invented everything from breathing to quantum string theory. In a British saying, they're all mouth and trousers- or fur coat and no knickers.

              William Hague, foetus ex-leader of the Tory Party was a Yorkshireman.

              In Canada, my friends in B.C. regularly regale me with anecdotes about the square heads in 'texan' Alberta. On the other hand, it does have the Calgary Gay Rodeo.... and Asher, of course.

                      You did however allow an Austrian to come to power.

                            Alberta is probably closest to Texas as a whole, but still not really.
