Dont mess with texas is the truest state motto of the nation. whats wrong with having pride of where your from? if your state sucks then i understand but texas is known for our pride as if we were our own nation because we were for a time and we are the biggest contiguous state and are home to tons of successful sports teams.

Minnesota! Only 4 bad things:
It's climate is the same as Moscow's (not kidding).
Northern Minnesota, where I'm from, is a freaking swamp. 
Mosquitoes
Our Republican govorner (althogh Ventura was even worse).
GOOD things:
Very good education system
Many well known companies (Hormell, Pillsbury, 3M, Greyhound, General Foods, etc.)
Nice people
Close to Canada
Great fishing
Many nature preserves (the nearby Buffallo State Park, for example, is one of the few remaining patches of Pine-Oak Savannah in the world).
Sorce of the Mississippi River.
World's largest Fresh-water port, Duluth
Rich in iron.
NE is part of the Canadian shield and has fossilized Cyanobacterial mats (stromatlites) that are 3 billion years old!

Can I advance a theory?
It just dropped into my head halfway through an Economics lesson...yeah, well, those lessons are so long and boring you could write a novel in one...
The theory of concentric circles. It's human nature to think in concentric circles, starting with oneself and moving outword. One's family, one's friends, then one's town, county, country, continent...and the circles increase in importance the further to the centre one goes. Anything coming from outside is deistrusted until it's mde its way sufficiently close to the centre to be accepted.
And yet there are a few people - Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyi, people like that - who can genuinely think outside those circles, wanting (however idealistic and unachievable it may be) the best, not just for their 'group', but for everyone...
Yeah, well. It was Economics. It's like being stoned, only with none of the fun stuff, just the hallucinations.
