51st State? The Philippines?
Well, if it happens I might consider moving there. Red State, I’d predict.

A trusted friend just visited there. He said it sucked. Poverty chaos. That’s the best info that I have. I probably won’t go there.
No. Not a red state. Asians are thoroughly used to the idea that the government is going to be tyrannical and/or corrupt so you vote for the clan, preferably your own clan, that will give you the most stuff or will give your clan or ethnic group the most privileges and the most government jobs so that some of the corruption can be funneled back home.

If that happens, I will leave here.

People in the philippines wanted to become the 51st state about 45 years ago! I remember an article back then about a movement there to do this.
If it were a red state, that would be a very big help to the electoral college while causing a massive shift on the Math in the house. Seat re-distribution would be very interesting.
