      As someone from the US, I love this idea… But maybe you should go with territory instead. It’s questionable at best if the US can handle having its own government.

          While I get that concern, keep in mind most magats haven’t traveled further than maybe a 15 minute drive, and they don’t even know where Canada is on a map. Wherever you are, they’ll never find it. So without the ability to vote, they’d be mostly harmless. Obviously Canada is already a nice place and doesn’t really have anything to gain, but please just consider it. I’m sure Trump would sell all 50 states to Canada in exchange for 2 McDoubles and some fries. Just hold back the second McDouble until he signs the paper.

    There is no way it could be statehood, it’d put another California-sized electoral voting block on the table. Despite claims of “51st state”, it’d be annexed into a territory. If he wants another star on the flag he’s going to want a much less populus group of freshly furious voters.
