The Republic of Texas
The Cowboys have built small Cowboy Country establishments on nearly all friendly worlds throughout known space. Most people consider them akin to the various veteran bars you can find in most towns, because they usually act that way. The standard Third World Cowboy Country sports a bar that serves anybody in front and party rooms in the back. An upper floor holds offices for Cowboys and the Tarrant County Sheriff, while a landing pad atop the building is capable of holding anything up to an Avenger. Few outsiders ever see the basements, which consist of bunkers full of supplies and weapons fit for an army. More affluent worlds tend to have larger and more elaborate Cowboy Countries. An interesting point is that most of them have official signed agreements with the local governments putting them under their own legal jurisdiction. They truly are small Cowboy Countries.
