    Some hints.

    1. Order is important.
    2. Texas
    1. Alphabetical order
    2. Texas: because Texas is the reason of everything! Everything was, is and will be because of Texas. Accept it.

    That's easy! France because they helped liberate the USA, who in turn helped the mighty Texan people crush the puny Mexicans!
    Holland because they have red light districts (Which appeared in the 19th Century), which are thoroughly appreciated by the Texans.
    UK because without the UK, you'd be all speaking Spanish!
    BLARGH!

    IIRC France and the USA were nominal allies in Napoleon's time. Later on France came close to recognising the Confederate States but never did.

    Holland - because of the Dutch immigration to Texas? http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederland_(Texas)

    The UK - no idea.

    Khan was so cloossseee.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Are they the first 3 countries to recognise Texas as an independent state?

    They needed cheese. Oh, they make beer and beef products, but Texans don't make anything like enough cheese. So really, it's all Wisconsin's fault ...

    Yorkshire would never give up her independence, no matter what, nah then!

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
