She was just grasping at straws trying to come up with a metaphor.. I would be like me saying 'Well, what if Texas had decided not to join the Union' and then Okuda supposing that Texas had been the last state to be admitted based on that comment i made trying to illustrate some completely random point!

Speaking of Texas, doesn't it have its own army/navy or something - some provision that was made way-back-when when Texas joined up to form the US? And that it is different to every other state?
We had a similar thing here in Australia - not about armies, but that New Zealand was possibily going to join the Commonwealth of Australia and become a state - they opted out before Federation or before the referendum on Federation back in the 19th century. And WA (Western Australia) was holding out from joining up for a long time too... they, of course did eventually join. Australia is the only continent to have only one country!
