Capital: Austin
Largest city: Houston
Largest metro: Dallas/Fort Worth
I think Texas is probably the only state here that has three different answers for each category and all of them are entirely located within the state.

I'd make a slight change to this...the biggest metro area in New Jersey relates not to Newark but to New York City, which is really closer geographically to NJ than most of its own state.
When you live in the northern suburbs of New Jersey, you are in the NY metro area, not the Newark metro area. Even Newark Liberty Airport is considered a NY metropolitan airport.
That's not what LaGuardia said about his ticket on the way back from visiting Chicago. The "New York" airport wasn't in New York State, much less in New York City and ordered the plane to land somewhere in Brooklyn. Then he got an airport started in Queens that eventually was named in his honor.
Honestly some posts have been hilarious such as Maryland and Wisconsin and tame like Iowa. DC would have been a state already if not for the Republican Party having one less variable to worry about in House and Senate composition.
I would make the rule that the largest metro must originate within the state at least but I would like to toughen it so that the entire metro must be within the state.
