I got curious so I went to Google. Belgium is 11,787 sq mi and has a population of 10.8 million. Oklahoma is 68,667 sq miles and has a population of 3.6 million. I can see why your traffic is bad. The Oklahoma City metro area is right at 1,000 sq miles and the total population of the metro area is 1.2 million.
In the 1st century BC, the Romans defeated the local tribes and created the province of Gallia Belgica. Oklahoma City did not exist at all in 1888. Oklahoma City was settled on April 22, 1889.
That is your history lesson for the day.
