Colorado.
Known for: alcohol, drugs, and fitness
Denver: First city to legalize carry of marijuana (in small quantities; it's still a federal crime though)
Pueblo: I'm not sure if it still holds these records, but once held world records for most bars per capita and most alcohol consumed in a 24 hour period per capita. And this is a city of 100,000 people.
Colorado currently holds U.S. records for most beer produced (flat out and per capita)
Colorado is also the thinnest state in the US, with the lowest percentage of obesity

Also known for having one, and ONLY one good sports team at a time, at least since the Avalanche moved here in '95.

I guess I should also mention our weather. Colorado has the most schizophrenic weather I've ever seen, with Pueblo being among the worst. Winter temperatures can fluctuate from -10 to 80 degrees, and within 24 hours. It's snowed in May here (5200 ft elevation, not very far north for those that don't know), and not just a little; I got 3 feet of snow at my place; that same weekend the air temperature was exactly 33 F for almost 72 hours (thus, the snow was actually slush... but thick as hell and wasn't melting). As well as a crapload of other weird weather. You really don't know 'til you've lived here.

I'm pretty sure Dubai is kicking your arse in that department.
Dubai does fuck all for the modern world. It's just massively rich. It doesn't do anything.
Anyway, we made it happen with the industrial revolution.

Alright, what does it do? I thought that was quite clear from my post. But of course you wanted to make some sarcastic comment because you have such a desire to look clever.
See, personal attacks, flame war = fun.

Iowa- For being the coolest place EVER!
I live there too, and I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. All we have is Corn, Slipknot, Shawn Johnson, and John Wayne

cows (and so milk)
jumpers
potatoes (***** royals)
Being a tax haven
Having a childrens home dedicated to abuse
Being sunny
Being one of the only bits of Britain to be taken by the Nazi's in WW2

Where am I?
Northen Ireland? But that wouldn't go along with thebeing sunny thing though
Northern Ireland? Let's have a look

cows (and so milk) Hmm... Maybe
jumpers ... Not really?
potatoes (***** royals)... Northern Ireland Royals? Nope.
Being a tax haven... Not as far as I know
Having a childrens home dedicated to abuse... Possibly
Being sunny... Hell naw!
Being one of the only bits of Britain to be taken by the Nazi's in WW2... Definitely not!

Sorry, nope :D
To be honest I didn't think so, I was mostly going on the childrens home, and the WW2 one, I only realised 5 minutes ago I got it wrong, and American's landed in Northern Ireland to re-fuel. I really have to start thinking next time.

Ok, my next guess would be Dunkirk, but the only problem with that is, I don't have a clue where that is!
France xD

Not very British :p
its Jersy(did i spell that right)
Jersey, but yep, you're right :D
