Austin?

I believe this might be a reference to a little-known provision of the Texas state Constitution that allows it to divide itself into up to seven independent states at any time (forget where I remember reading about that offhand...)

It has more trees and less timber

The coastline of the rest of the contry combined may not equal the coastline of Alaska.

They were talking about Texas . I love that quote !



just found the whole quote it's even better

The late Senator Ben (Pitchfork) Tillman of South Carolina is credited with having said:
“Texas has more trees and less timber; more rivers and less water; more resources and less cash; more itinerant preachers and less religion; more cows and less milk, and you can see farther and see less than any d----- country in the world.”

I believe Washington does, because if you have beach property, you own the beach, not the state to the high tide line..
