I live in Vermont. Do you know anything about it?
1_Wizard
Just that it's a tiny little state up in New England way up there. Second smallest by population actually! Like 14 people probably, right?

I am not sure. When did Vermont join the union?
1_Wizard
It became a part of the States in 1791 just after the Revolutionary War. But it was its own country for a short time!

Wow, I didn't know that. What is Vermont best known for?
1_Wizard
It is definitely the maple syrup capitol of the country. Forget Canada, Vermont is where it's at!

Does Vermont have a maple syrup union that controls the price of maple syrup? I remember watching a documentary about maple syrup in Canada or maybe it was a providence of Canada

Yep, the Vermont Maple Syrup Makers' Association. But don't worry, it ain't no mob gang. Vermont is THE safest state in the country as of 2016.
