[Discuss] What should become the 51st state?

Postby Carriberra » Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:15 pm

I've always wondered what would become the fifty-first state to the US, so I created this thread and poll for you guys to decide. I know this is a short description, but I want to see people's opinions on the 51st state.

Canada becoming a state would be absurd. It would have to be multiple states. Its bigger than the fucking US.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

The poll includes a bunch of other countries, that the United States would presumably have to conquer. This thread will inspire much militaristic and nationalistic butthurt. I guarantee it.

I hope CA splits into at least two parts. It's ridiculous that people who are forced to live there for technology jobs have to out up with Cali's absurd firearms restrictions.

Yeah, based on my understanding of international law according to Victoria II, since the US didn't accomplish its war goals in the set amount of time, Vietnam got ticking war score on the US. So, they added some war goals when their score was at 100, and demanded full annexation of the US.

Seriously ? Canada ?

First, Canada is bigger than the United States themselves. They would have to sp,it Canada in at least 20-30 states.

Second, Canada becoming a state ain't gun' happen.

How many? If each province and territory became a state, it would make 13 states.

Since Canada is more left-wing than the US, that would probably devastate the Republicans' strength in Congress.

What makes you think a second California centered around (I assume) Silicon Valley would have loose gun laws?

Quebec... Quebec is thinking of leaving. Big difference. And they want to be independent, not a state in the US
