As of March 12, 2014, The Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas combined into one giant megalopolis rank as the eighth largest mega-region in North America, according to new research by Richard Florida, co-founder of The Atlantic Cities.
The “Dal-Austin” megalopolis’ $723 billion in economic output — more than Sweden’s or oil-rich Saudi Arabia’s — would rank among the world’s 25 largest economies. Just under 12 million people live in the region.
It is of no surprise that Texas feels confident of standing as an independent nation by seceding from the United States. Not only by its economic output, but Texans are known to be patriotic not only to Country but to State. Based on first hand experience, those who join the Marine Corps will be asked question close to "What part of the country are you from? Texas or what?". Goes to show a strong sense of belonging and patriotism by Texans.
If Texas were to secede, we would lose Him.
