Guam would really like to be a state, so they tend to suck up to the party in power in hopes that will help it with that and with getting more money from Washington.  The latter maybe, but Guam's too small.  Even combined with the Northern Marianas, they still have a little less than 30% of a CD worth of population.  Even if the Marshalls, Micronesia and Palau joined in, the population of a state of Pacifica would only be about 60% of a CD.  Despite all that, if it were not for the Senate, I think Guam would be able to get Statehood, but as is, it's impossible.
Would the state 'Pacifica' even be that realistic of a proposition.  I don't know how the residents of these territories would feel about being lumped together like that.
