How many people did Wyoming have when it became a state?
Good point. WY pop at admission in 1890 was only 55,000 (of the 60,000 thrn required, ha!)
Of course, USA pop has multiplied x6 since then.
I believe statehood today for just 57,000 people would not secure the necessary approvals from our existing political process.
And would create further backlash concerning other, existing USA territories etc
I think Greenland will be a USA territory.
But we will see.
