Topic	Will we see any new states added to the United States of America in our lifetime

However if that DID, somehow, happen, I can certainly see that situation or something similar happening. It's incredibly unlikely, yes, like, 0.1% chance, but when we're talking about things that aren't Puerto Rico becoming a state or maybe D.C. or some internal sub-division of states 0.1% is extremely high compared to all other options. The simple fact is, though, that the only way the U.S. is likely going to get some more states beyond sub-divisions or Puerto Rico is gaining control of territory it currently does not possess. It's highly unlikely that HK would choose to become an American territory, considering its long history with other countries. Blightzkrieg posted...
