US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

    Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.

      Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.

        Besides the geography problem, I’ve said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.

        When the Balkinization of the US happens, the West Coast will be thr first to break off.

          Balkanization*

          As rule of thumb, try to keep the root word intact (Balkans here) as much as possible. It doesn’t work 100% of the time, but it’s a good heuristic.
