[Redo]Which Proposed State/Territory Should Became The 51st

[Franklin And Jefferson]

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.

Maybe

[Franklin And Jefferson]

Tajikistan.

?

[Saint Kitten]

Is the state of Franklin just Western North Carolina? If it is, I can tell you that we A.) learned our lesson the first time and B.) would rather be part of the Cherokee Nation and start building casinos. The Biltmore Estate just isn't bringing in the dough anymore

[Shnercropolis]

Tajikistan.

?

It's the obvious move.

[The States of New Africa]

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.

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.

New Africa is a proposed country occupying the current SE United States. It is called New Africa because the country would be a place where African Americans could go a be free of America, which has historically been discriminatory against them. Basically, the creation of New Africa would be reparation for the centuries of slavery and discrimination.

I think it's been established before that states aren't allowed to leave the union.

No It's Part Of Tennessee

I have public school to thank for teaching me that it was NC.. Regardless, I have yet to see any protesters when I visit Pigeon Forge.

Because every time I go outside I see hopeful African Americans leave the cities to immigrate to "New Afriaa" in hope of being racially accepted? Honestly, I don't think they want or need a new country devoted to them. Besides, that's racist to everyone who isn't African American.

Haven't you ever been on Tumblr? Reverse racism don't reals, only feels.

So basically a Pan-African country in a White Majority Continent?

I thought that was Jamaica...

Sequoia Is Eastern Oklahoma. Lincoln Is A Part Of Texas.Franklin Is A Part Of Tennessee. And Delmarva Is Part Of Delaware,Maryland,And New Jersey

Lincoln is Eastern Washington State. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_(p ... tern_state)

[District XIV]

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.

South California Is Having A Lot Of Protests

Are you serious?

*calls uncle to ask about so-called "protests"*

Apparently there aren't any.

Ok This Is A Re Do. So What Do You Think Should Be The 51st State. I Like All Of These Ideas For States.

See, that's the thing: when you start a thread you're pretty much required to provide discussion material, not just one sentence and a poll. So, I will unlock this but I want to see your opinion and maybe a little something about the options in your poll. Otherwise, well, it'll get locked again.

[Vicious Debaters]

Puerto Rico. And by the way, you spelled it wrong.

[Unified Corea]

Puerto Rico. And by the way, you spelled it wrong.

Yeah, the accepted 'Murican spelling is Perta Rika.

[Mefpan]

Before I cast my vote I'd like to know which proposed state will result in another firmly Democrat state without tipping the rest of the territory it belongs to at this point over to the GOP or making it a generally GOPpy swing state.

Those conditions said, it's a pretty safe bet Puerto Rico should be a state.

[Christiaanistan]

I think that Sealand should become the 51st state...if they would agree to becoming a part of the US, anyway...and if the UK didn't pitch up too much of a fuss, and if they did, I would suggest that we just back off. But it's a cute idea.

[Rio Cana]

Washington DC and or Guam, Not Puerto Rico. Associated Republic or Independence for Puerto Rico.

Time for the patriotic flag music.

[Risottia]

I think Puerto Rico should be the 51st... if the US can do so in the next three months. If not, independence for PR.
As for Washington DC, I think they could be just incorporated in Virginia. Then again, the city-State solution could also be viable.
Plus, there's the US colonies who should become a US State, either by being a new State or by being incorporated into existant ones.

Whichever one wants to be the fifty-first.

You cannot just force Washington DC into Virginia and those other small territories together to satisfy some bureaucratic thing. That is what has caused much of the worlds modern conflict, this forcing together of different groups into one nation without asking them.
