The other two I just can't think of...it is hard to figure out which two you are missing out of so many.

[Provost Harrison]

Montana and Kansas...dammit. Should be fairly easy ones, but just didn't spring to mind.

[Sandman]

I learned about the American expansion westward throughout in both primary and secondary school, and nothing else.

Mind you, playing the 'Wagons West' game on the computers was a real skive.

Right. The capitals of European countries are European capitals...even if stuck in other continents....

Anyway. I know Ankarra is in Asia.


This is just me playing with Paiktis reagarding Turkey being part of EU in future or not...

"Is DanS a statehoods righter? For DC??"

No. I'm one of the few, however. I think it would make DC congressional offices more valuable than other congressional offices, among other things. The founding fathers knew what they were doing, as they had many European examples to guide them (in this case, what not to do), although it does sometimes create absurdities, like the former Senator from Tennessee being a Washingtonian in practice, heart, and actuality. Washingtonians know the rules when they move here and it's a special circumstance. There are many compensations.

I view the "Taxation Without Representation" license plates that are given out de rigeur as a misappropriation of my tax dollars for political speech.

I'm all for Puerto Rican statehood, if they ultimately vote for it. I think that leaves only a few territories, none of which are really large enough to be called states, even if glommed together in some fashion.

GP:

"wha???That's not one of the 9, no?"

No. It's one of the Bezirke in the Tyrol.

Adalb. :

"What is the Capital of Hessen?"

Wiesbaden. Or did you want to hear Frankfurt ?

[TCO]

In Italy?
