I'll let Roland know you said that.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful. -
Bavaria of course. Arch-catholic and reactionary. But compared with Texans, Bavarians are ultra left commies, though.Comment

Re: What is the "Texas" of your country?
You just have to know how to talk to them. They are really very nice people once you but a beer in their hand and take the shotgun out of the other.Originally posted by Smiley
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?Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

Wales may be many things, nut it certainly isn't Britains TexasSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

It is difficult to find an equivalent to Textas in France...
Let's see, we are looking for an area that is:
- obnoxious
- wealthy
- believes it's a separate country
- fiercely conservative
I can't think of any French area that combines all 4 aspects. A good case could be made for Corsica or for the Marseilles region, but they aren't wealthy enough.
Another good point could be made for Alsace, but it's not obnoxious enough.
Finally, the Bretons are all this, but not conservative enough.
And although Paris scores extremely high on the obnoxious and wealthy attributes, it scores poorly on the two others."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Texas is more right wing than main stream US Wales is more left wing than the UK.
Texans fought for theie independence from a third country, Wales fought for theirs against the country they are now part of.
Texas is not culturaly diverse between the north and south of its territory int he same way Wales is.Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Another vote for Alberta just so I can call Asher a Texan of Canada.
Wealthy, obnoxious, seperatist and conservative. Fits 'em to a tee.

Wales is similar to Texas in that it seems like a different country.
