How utterly ridiculous that we had to have the answer copied at least four times! What a waste of time and space. This is the sort of thing that makes this site run so slowly at times - it's clogged with rubbish!

New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
The Two commonwealths are:
Puerto Rico
The Northern Mariana Islands
The Three territories are:
Guam
United States Virgin Islands
American Samoa
Territory just simply means that the land belongs to that country.
Commonwealths are just territories, but implies that there is some kind of political relationships between the countries.
They are trying to make Puerto Rico the 51st state, but until that happens, there are only 50 official United States.
The US does not own Iraq, although they think they do, nor England or Mexico. I don't know where some of these people get their information.

Silly rabbit. Tricks are for kids.
I'm assuming you were trying to see how many people you could trick with that question but you may have been serious ... were you?
In either case, I'm sure many people have provided you with the 50 states of America, so I won't bother to list them.
Good try though. :-)
