Does Rhode Island have enough population to make a state?
Here's my proposal...
Since Greenland is used to being governed by the island of Denmark, let's merge it with Rhode Island and call the new state...
Rhode Islands!
That way, we still have 50 states and the balance in Congress is unchanged.

Rhode Island has 1.2 million people approximately.
The Historic metric for a territoty to become a state was an acheived population over 200000. It could fluctuate I guess depending on congress.
Population based...not land area based. That’s why Suggestions that Staten Island could be allowed to be its own state can be validly considered.
