we have fifty states. the latest state brought into the US was Hawaii in the fifties. Washington, DC, is not considered a state because it is a single city and located within Maryland (if my memory serves me right). Puerto Rico is in US territory, but is not a state. I heard rumors in the past about making PR a state, but there has never been any depth to this rumor.
Oh, and UNI Panther.... I remember the song, too! Fifty nifty United States, from thirteen original colonies... fifty nifty stars on the flag that wave so beautifully in the breeze! Yay me!
Hope this helps.

When did we ever have 51? We've been 50 for quite a while now.

With all the money that the federal government puts into it, they may as well count Iraq as a state
