There are currently 50 states in the USA and there have been for a while now... If there were to be a state added to the united states I feel that Puerto Rico would be the next state.

Answer 3

That are now 50 States in the United States Of America. There are no plans for another State to join , however if one does it will most likely be Puerto Rico.

Answer 4

Their are 48 contiguous states as well as Alask and Hawaii, altogether their are 50. But their is also disputed terrirory inhabited and uninhabited.

Unincorporated (United States' possessions)
Inhabited
American Samoa (officially unorganized, although self-governing under authority of the U.S. Department of the Interior)
Guam (organized under Organic Act of 1950)
Northern Mariana Islands (commonwealth, organized under 1977 Covenant)
Puerto Rico (commonwealth, organized under terms of Puerto Rico-Federal Relations Act)
U.S. Virgin Islands (organized under Revised Organic Act of 1954)

Uninhabited
Along with Palmyra Atoll, these form the United States Minor Outlying Islands:

Baker Island
Howland Island
Jarvis Island
Johnston Atoll
Kingman Reef
Midway Islands (administered as the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge)
Navassa Island
Wake Island
From July 18, 1947 until October 1, 1994, the U.S. administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, but more recently entered into a new political relationship with all four political units (one of which is the Northern Mariana Islands listed above, the others being the three freely-associated states noted below).

Disputed
Navassa Island (with Haiti)
Machias Seal Island (with Canada)
Wake Island (with Marshall Islands)
Serranilla Bank (with Colombia)
Bajo Nuevo Bank (with Jamaica)

Freely-associated states
The freely-associated states are the three sovereign nations with which the United States has entered into a Compact of Free Association. They have not been within U.S. jurisdiction since they became sovereign; however, many considered them to be dependencies of the United States until each was admitted to the United Nations in the 1990's.

Republic of the Marshall Islands
Federated States of Micronesia
Republic of Palau

So you see The U.S.A is bigger than people think.
