Indeed, out of curiosity, what is the reason for a sub-country chapter
at all, in contrast to most others? This might be obvious, but it
doesn't seem anyone has said it yet.
One reason is that the United States is a really really really big
country. France is the largest country in the EU. It's a little
smaller than Texas, so if France were an American state (an amusing
and unlikely thought) it would be the 3rd largest.
Having a "local chapter" including both New York City, Chicago, and
Los Angeles doesn't feel very "local".
