Your "ToS vs Texas" analogy might fit, but the data is hardly parallel. There are a max of 15 players in a game of ToS, and... what, 323 million people in the USA? 1/15 is obviously going to be more likely than 1/323,000,000. I'm disregarding the population of Texas in general because you said an American, as in, one person. There's a 12% chance that if you meet an American, the American will be a Texan. There's a 16% chance that you'll find an NK night two. I think I need to improve my analogies.
