sorry DC. you gotta wait in line. Israel and Ukraine deserve statehood first
Taxation without representation. I'm pretty sure an entire war was fought about that.

- Don't forget Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Mariana Islands.
  
  If you're born in ~~Guam~~ American Samoa, to two US Citizens, you don't automatically become a citizen.
  
  You have to apply to become one.

  In New Zealand.

Make it a State and force all the flags to get placed with the same thing, but another star awkwardly patched on.
- US law doesn't specify how the stars have to be arranged, so you can't force that but it is a valid flag
