Answer 1

There are currently 50 states in the United States. There are 48 contiguous (connected) states and 2 more (Alaska and Hawaii)

An additional star would make it 51 (not 43 [sorry]).

I don't think that the US would be including ANY additional states in the next 20 years. (We tend to be snooty like that.)

We currently have the 50 states and 7 U.S. Territories.

============

The 7 U.S. Territories are:

Territory is a general term for a region under the general authority of the United States, but with its own local laws. The US Congress annexed the first territory, the Northwest Territory, in 1787. All but 19 states were once territories. There are currently numerous US possessions:

PUERTO RICO
Commonwealth (Residents Are US Citizens, but may not vote in Presidential elections and have no voting representation in Congress; an elected non-voting delegate may debate in Congress; island government controls all matters not addressed in the US Constitution)

Population 3,916,632 (July 2005 est.)
Puerto Ricans decided in a plebiscite in 1993 not to be incorporated as a state

GUAM

Answer 2

Currently 50 stars for 50 states...Puerto Rico will probably be the next state, within 20 years.

Answer 3

The stars on the flags do not represent countries.

Answer 4

Wierd question because it is based on false information. The stars represent states not countries. So no star will be added for any country.

Answer 5

There are 50 starts on the flag. and the stars dont represent countries, it represents states.

Answer 6

Liladee --- no offense.. but yet you would be pissed? huh? (BTW learn how to spell Puerto Rico! P U E R T O (space) R I C O!!

Anyways, Puerto Rico would probably become the 51st state. It has been talked about before. I believe Puerto Ricans have voted for it not to become one. I think they should... and probably will soon!

Answer 7

well actually there are 50 stars on the US flag, and the stars are 4 state not countries.
and i think that the next state would be Washington DC

Answer 8

Um, if one star were added, it would total 51. I would say Puerto Rico, they have earned it. Eagle

Answer 9

i'd possibly opt for to get a tattoo of the endless signal with the quote "And in that second, I swear we were endless" from a e book I study reported as The Perks of Being A Wallflower. i'd possibly positioned it someplace round my rib or hip section.

Answer 10
