Texas

The second-largest state in the Union (after Alaska) and also the second-most populous (after California), Texas is also the only one to have been an independent republic for a time. Culturally and touristically, it sits at the crossroads of the South, Mexico, and the American West, giving the "Lone Star State"—as it calls itself—a unique and distinctive character.
