Well I come from the Great COUNTRY of TEXAS. Unfortunately we "associated" with the United States in 1854, being the only independent Nation to do so, by a Treaty. So you really ought to have the Lone Star flag showing there (gggg).
BTW, some Canadians I've met also think that parts of their country ought to similarly "associate" with the United States. Indeed it was on a visit to Moncton 23 years ago, that I first heard that bizarre idea...having never heard of anything like that in the "States." Anyway.....if you guys still wish to join us, I'm sure it can be arranged......somehow. LOL
