We need more states, 50 just isn't enough anymore. I propose the creation of 2 new states by merging allied or occupied nations.

First up, Saudi Israelestine. As the name suggest it would encompass Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Palestine as well as some surrounding territory like Jordan.

And for number B, Afraqistan, consisting of what is now Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

I believe these states would have much to add to our diverse culture and this annexing would have both strategic and economic benefits for all involved. What could possibly go wrong?

But 50 is such a nice round number...

Well if you've any suggestion to help bring the number up to 60 then please, feel free to add them to the list.

Not until we secure the American Continents first. Gotta take it a step at a time.

I say we should go up to 75.

We can buyout all those Pacific Island nations along with the ones we already own.

I have a plan: it's called annex every goddamn piece of foreign territory on Earth and kill anyone who opposes us.

Have fun, just remember that the Greeks Conquered the Romans, not the other way around.

Ah, but did the Romans kill everyone else on Earth? I thought not.

You see, nobody to date has the balls to get to the nine-figure club. I think it's time for us, under the glorious Islamic banner of Barack Hussein Osama to seize control of our destiny once and for all.

why not take over the world. If one country is in power everywhere there will be no risk of an enemy invasion

unless..... THE ENEMY IS WITHIN :O

No, thanks.

I thought thats what Bushes plan was anyway?

But the middle east is so far away from the rest of the USA. How will the interstate get there?

Bastards! We have a few of them, like Tokelau.. Then again, we're kinda a pacific island nation, so I guess you could buy us out and get Tokelau too... Just as a wee bonus.

But you can so easily increase the number of states without bothering with anything extraterritorial, by splitting up some states:
North & South Dakota => West, East and Central Dakota; same with Carolina
Colorado => Blacknwhiteado
Missouri => Mississouri, Misterouri
Idaho => Istillhaveaho
Indiana => Cowboya, Cavalarya, Settlera, well... Etcetera
Virginia => Binfukdia, Gotlaidia, ...
Connecticut => Separatibandage
Ohio => Aloa, Ebyee, ...

Lots of choices to create another 50 states! :D

aquatunnel!

Time to absorb Canada. I think we could get up to 75 states.

Why not jump the gap with a giant drive-in cannon?

The same way it gets to Hawaii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_H-1)

The USA will never absorb Canada. Think about it - do the people in charge of the war machine want any more socialists around?

It's perfectly possible to absorb the land without the peasants. With warmongers like ours they'd just gas 'em and take over.

I propose Puerto Rico as a state as long as a considerable majority of Puerto Ricans vote for Statehood. Divide the Republican part of California into a state. I propose the state of Kurdistan, the state of Iraq. All the provinces of Canada as states. All the European nations including the areas of Russia as states. Before you all suggest Cuba as a US State, yes the state of Cuba.

After World War II the USA could have made the European nations under its control and influence into US states. Govern the new states through Americans of European descent, Europeans, yet they did not do so. This would probably have resulted in a War against the Soviet Union and its satelite nations. America wins and all of Europe would have become US States.

This interferes with our plan to reinstate the British Empire...Dastardly Colonials...

Uh, sorry grandpa, the old nation-folks home is a better place for the UK. Their days as a super power is pretty much at an end. ;)

Grandpa! You shall be one of the first to be thrown into jail. Or hanged. I haven't quite decided

Costa Rica. Those suckers don't even have an army to defend themselves. The conquest would be quick and bloody, and then ever American could enjoy a war surplus of three coconuts and half a bottle of rum. It'd be madness not to.

Iceland doesn't have an Army either...Think of all the Icelandic women! Wait this is my plan for the Empire. I now only see one way to settle this. A swimming race to Iceland. Whoever plants their flag on Iceland first claims it.

True... but, still, you don't want to mess with Costa Ricans. And US imperialism is, to put it mildly, not one of their favorite things.

Send some destroyers to sort them out. Can't say no to Her Majesty's Imperial Navy.

But that would give Greenland and the Føroyar (or whatsit, Faero Islands or sumfn) an unfair advantage, wouldn't it?

All the nations of the world as US states. Govern the new states through Americans of world descent and native origins, often times cousins of native Americans.

But that would give Greenland and the Føroyar (or whatsit, Faero Islands or sumfn) an unfair advantage, wouldn't it?

Pfft. They don't count. this race is exclusive to the US and the UK. They're not invited.

Maybe it's time to DECREASE the number of states instead...

I recommend that we release Texas as a hundred or so squabbling nations. At the same time, Tennessee and Utah can leave in one chunk each, but get a midkorean border around it.

Pfft. They don't count. this race is exclusive to the US and the UK. They're not invited.

But what if the føroysk arrive first, plant their flag and then prevent you Limey and Yankee bastards from getting ashore?

Bragging rights more than anything else really.

Ah, so you can say: "Yes, some of our guys swam to Iceland, but not fast enough to beat the føroysk, then we couldn't get ashore because they held us back, so we nuked them, our own swimmers, and all the rest of the island we set out to conquer, out of existence".

Way to brag! :D

Who do you brag to? You need to start thinking things through before advocating nuclear genocide.

Trouble is, thinking things through usually eliminates the need for the genocide anyway. Assuming those involved have more than a hamster on a wheel in their heads.

No, one never thinks through such a thing as nuclear genocide, it spoils the fun!

Techincally the island would still be there so not out of existence. A useless island yes but not a non existant one.

Think things through?! I don't have time for such drivel!

We might as well take over Mexico. That'd solve the illegal immigration problem!

No it wouldn't. You'd have Guatemalans and Belizians instead of Mexicans

Admittedly, though, it would be far cheaper to build a wall down towards the narrower end of Central America.

Coming soon: The Panama Canal and massive wall :p

We could just turn Puerto Rico and Guam into states...

We might as well take over Mexico. That'd solve the illegal immigration problem!I've advocated the annexation of Mexico for about thirty years. About 3/4 of the illegal immigrants in this country would suddenly be citizens and since US buisiness would be flocking south there probably wouldn't be as many people heading north as you'd think (especially if suddenly US minimum wage and worker protection laws applied to Mexico). Of course there'd be the language issue and a whole bunch of pissed off rednecks to deal with...
