If Guam were merged with the other Mariana Islands, there would be a total population of 244,000, which while smaller than any other State, wouldn't be too out of whack as to make it toatally rediculous However, while guam itself is in fairly good shape economically, I can't see the Northern Marianas or any of the other states formed out the old trust territory as being able to function economically within the United States, so exapansion of Guam into alarger terrotory to qualify for statehood is while possible, not likely politically. However, statehood for Guam is the obvious quid pro quo for DC statehood, given the politics in both places.
