    No, this is what we do. 51=17x3. 52=26x2. 53, however is a prime number so it can’t be divided.

    We make PR a state, Guam, and DC.

    AND WE BECOME… One nation, indivisible.

      No silly, we COMBINE some of the 18 low-population states so we can go back to 48! One nation 6x8, with a better balance in representation! Or 45 could be nice as well.

        Why combine extant states? Just pull a colonial Europe and draw a whole new map over it! Nuts to “natural boundaries” or “cultural similarities”, everyone on the east coast from DC to King’s Bay is now part of the State of Midlantic.
