Oklahoma

From RationalWiki

Oklahoma! is a musical comedy just north of Texas.

Oklahoma is OK.

The nickname for Oklahomans, "Sooners", refers to those homesteaders who staked out claims to land to farm there ahead of those who diligently waited for the starting bell.

A number of nominally independent countries called the Indian Nations (much to the chagrin of non-Native Americans who try desperately to eliminate the use of "Indian" to refer to Native Americans) exist within the borders of Oklahoma. While they are essentially left to their own devices, their continued independence relies entirely on remaining in the current President's good graces, or hoping that he (or she) forgets that Indians still exist. Because they are Indians and not WASPs, and because the territory they claim is also claimed by the U.S. at the same time, if the U.S. decides to dissolve their governments there is nothing they can do about it. In other words, they're not really independent at all.

In spite of the fact that the Democratic Party is the largest political party in Oklahoma, the state has consistently voted for the Republican presidential candidate since the 1968 election. The few more liberal members of the state apologize for the inconvenience.

Tulsa is home to several televangelists (much to the shame of its inhabitants), most notably Oral Roberts and his pervy son Richard. Oral is insane and has a talent for wasting money (including building an entirely unnecessary hospital that is now a rather sparsely occupied office complex), while Richard ran Oral Roberts University and let his wife sleep with the male students. Someone finally dropped a huge donation on ORU on the condition that they just get rid of the Roberts family completely.
