Bonus points if you come up with a 51 state flag.

Southern California (counting that as #51, since Northern California would keep Sacramento (and all prior State capitals) and thus the #31 spot).

Puerto Rico should be the fifty-first state. They have the land area, population, the infrastructure, and the viability. By all rights, they should be a state.

Puerto Rico, but I really think the USA, including Puerto Rico, only needs 30-40 states.

While statehood is divisive in Puerto Rico, independence is quite fringe, only around 5% of Puerto Ricans support it I think

How about we sell Alaska back to Russia for some insane sum of money?

Say one trillion dollars?

After that, I'd separate Staten Island from the rest of New York, and make that the new 50th state.

Not enough money for Alaska. No sum of mere cash is enough to sell Alaska without duress. Staten Island is not big enough to be a state - just make NYC + Nassau + Suffolk and maybe Westchester a separate state.

There are already plenty online.

Good idea, should be Maryland IMO.

I'm unsure about the viability of interplanetary nation-states. The American Mars Colony might end up like Puerto Rico. It's unfair to make congressmen travel to Earth and back without perfect quality space travel.


North Wyoming would be an R+50 PVI state vs. a mere R+36 PVI for South Wyoming.

British Columbia should be either the 51st or 52nd after PR. Then Alberta should be the 53rd, Sas. the 54th, Manitoba the 55th, Ontario the 56th....
