How about more information. I, for example, am not American and apart from Puerto Rico, D.C., and Southern California have no knowledge of any of these places.

How so? I don't see them travelling up to Washington by the bus load (or boat load in some cases) with protest signs demanding statehood.

None of these options should become states. Instead, the already-existing states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina should come together as the Republic of New Afrika and declare their independence from the United States. Then, any five of the aforementioned territories in the poll should become US States to replace the lost five who seceded.

Sounds to me like they are really just playing with the numbers in the poll.

Correct, Africa is in Africa. But I said New Afrika, which should be in the Southeastern United States. England is in Europe, but New England is in North America.

But I do have a question. If Delmarva becomes a state, wouldn't there still be 50? It seems to me like Delaware would just be expanded to include all of the peninsula.

Why do you want this to be a single state then spilt off into a seperate country? And I still don't see why you are trying to make an African reference. If anything, it should be New France considering France once owned the land.

*reads LA Times*
