Come on guys everyone's abandoning you cause you got tricked into leaving your swarthy friends behind by a couple weird looking racists. Scotland can come too but Northern Ireland is hosed so they should unite with Ireland or become a hermit kingdom We'll even give you representation

This would be p cool actually C'mon UK, it's not like you're actually using those monarchs anyway, just toss 'em in the guillotine and let's unite the Anglosphere again LGD posted:Be real- they're not getting representation Pfft PR keeps voting not to be a state, there's no line. All the UK would have to do is vote a little better than they just did and they'd get in easy

"United Kingdom" is a p lovely name for a state though, they'd have to split into individual countries or whatever they call them England, Scotland, Wales, and NI can be #51-54

I've never actually been to Northern Ireland but considering The Troubles it seems like kind of a bad idea to unify them with regular Ireland Maybe the rest of Ireland can come too and we can have like a Virginia/West Virginia thing going with them

All the UK would have to do is vote a little better than they just did and they'd get in easy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rican_status_referendum,_2012 multi-part question so open to interpretation, but by most indications Statehood is the most popular option, and given the recent budget crisis I think full statehood would be likely to win if it was a straight up or down vote the bigger issue is that there is little reason for a Republican controlled congress to add one or more new states that would be solidly politically aligned with the opposition party, so you'd need large agitation on the parts of the territories, wave elections favoring the Democratic party, or a political realignment

England is nicer than all of them we should let England be a state, but we should combine two of the empty states so that we still have a nice round number of 50 states. Combine the Dakotas or just give one to Canada or whatever
