Sorry m8ty I cant help it if Montana is 3 times larger than Britan :D But no offense intended.

Since you have like shires and or countys or fifedoms or somewhat along those lines? Feel free to share your motto or mottos as the case may be.

You know no beer shall go untasted, or feed the women to the dragons. You must have some motto besides " God save the Queen"?

State Bird- California Valley Quail

State Tree- California Redwood

State Fossil-Sabertoothed Cat

California Is the World's Fifth Largest Economy

How many states can claim that they have a terminator as their governor?
