The largest state by both population and area in the United States.
Texas is known for its oil, cattle, conservative politics, high school football, and excessive state pride (according to outsiders).
Texans have more of a common identity than is true for all other U.S. states. They are known for being loud and overly friendly. Everyone owns a ranch, except those Mexicans who merely work on them (they also work for the transportation department). Everyone listens to country music and are carnivores. Their favorite TV shows are King of the Hill and reruns of Walker, Texas Ranger (also football of course). They always remember the Alamo.
However, Texas does possess some regional differences.
East Texas is covered with woodlands and is reminiscent of the Deep South. It has Houston, which is known for having the worst humidity in the world. East Texas used to have lots of oil but it has been all pumped out.
North Central Texas is grassland, or would be if Dallas and its suburbs don’t cover it completely. It never had any oil but has lots of gas. Dallas was recently bought in a hostile take over by Ross Perot, Jerry Jones, and Mark Cuban.
Central Texas is hilly and populated by Germans and Czechs. They like to drink beer, dance, and pretend they like polka. It has perhaps the best scenery in the state.
South Texas is filled with Mexicans. It might have already seceded, but no one is sure because they will only speak Spanish. Has the worst high school football in the state.
West Texas is a large almost empty desert. It still has oil but apparently it is cheaper to ship oil over from Saudi Arabia than it is to drill for it here. There are lots of counties in this area that are bigger than states in the Eastern U.S.
Texas is home to a number of board members, including:
The infamous Mike Collins is from Texas as well.
