US Virgin Islands has all the requirements to be the 51 State: english speaking, small population of 50,000 and weak identity,
Wash. DC. is the capital of the US, and there is no need for it to become a state
Not Puerto Rico, which is a spanish speaking latin country, has a strong national identity and they have refused to become a state.
