Should South Dakota be divided into two different states?

[jimrtex]

I think it's fine to have states with divergent populations.

However, Puerto Rico should be a state, the pacific territories should be a state (though they'd be by far the smallest), and the non-governmental areas of DC should be merged into MD and VA.

No one in DC or MD/VA want this.

The concession of DC by Maryland is conditional on it being the capital. Move the capital and D.C. automatically reverts to Maryland.

Why not merge North Dakota into these states? Then it can be East and West Dakota, divided by the Missouri River.

How about using the Mississippi as an eastern boundary, and dividing the area to the west using the Minnesota&Continental Divide, Missouri, Arkansas, Red, Brazos, and Rio Grande as boundaries. Eastern Minnesota and Louisiana would be added to Wisconsin and Mississippi.
