You guys are missing the most obvious solution, we drop the most useless state and take on Puerto Rico that way we maintain 50 states and wont have to change our flags!
I think we should add 10 and make 60 stars.
I propose
1:Make L.A. Ca it's oun state named "ghettoland"
2:west dakota
3:Split up the part of Arkansas with walmart HQ in it and call it Wallmartia
4:Take over part of mexico and name it "old mexico"
5:split New mexico up creating new new mexico
6:make New York city it's oun State called the state of New New york
7:take the northern half of pennsilvania and make eraservania
8:supersise Minesota creating Largesota
9:make washington DC it's oun state
10: puerto rico (thread topic)
