"Six Flags" the amusement park chain started in Texas, and the six flags referred to are those of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the US, and the Confederate States of America (before returning to the US).
The other Six Flags parks required increasing amounts of optimism to make the same "Six Flags" claim:
Georgia's supposed list was Spain, France, the UK, the US, the CSA, and "Georgia". France's historical connection to Georgia is tenuous at best, and Georgia's claim to have been an independent entity is much weaker than that of Texas.
Mid-America (near St. Louis, MO) was France, the US, and ... um ... it kind of peters out there, really; it was technically claimed by the UK and Spain at one time, I suppose, and rounding out the two are Missouri and Illinois (neither of which were ever independent countries, and one of which is a few dozen miles away across the river).
After that they kind of gave up, and just made it a generic name (they also, at that point, stopped building new parks and started buying existing parks and renaming them).
There are Six Flags parks in Texas (two of them; at one time three), Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, New Jersey, California, New York, Maryland, and Massachusetts. There's also one in Montreal, Quebec and one in Mexico City.
