50 States
But there also protected United States territories. Guam, The Virgin Islands, American Samoa, And Puerto Rico. They are not states. |

50 and a few territories
Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands Guam American Samoa all the territories have the right to vote and full coverage under the Constitution and benefits like Social Security and Medicare but if I remember correctly they don't pay US income tax |

50 states. Hawaii being the youngest. Actually, i think it is Ohio, they found out they never actually joined, then in the 1950s they passed a bill to join and back dated it, which is illegal. |

Canada soooooo wants to be the 51st state!

50 states plus Washington, D.C.- our capital.
By the way, it's 7-1 Nats over the Red Sox after 6. But watch the bullpen blow it. |

THANKS ALL!

Thats us Buckeyes we are always up to something. Now if Micigan can take over Ohio, we would have a combined un-employment of 25%. We would call it Mohio, or Ohiagan |

We have more then 50 states, but we leave it as 50 because we like that number. We have other states that are nonincorporated but is still part of the US under Federal legislation, such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and a few other nearby countries that are part of the union.
Something like that. You may want to look it up with someone that knows a little more then I do. |

We just ran out of room on the flag for any more green horseshoes, pots of gold, lucky clover, and blue moons. |
