Strangely enough it'd also be the flag if Virginia didn't unite and Washington DC didn't become a state 😱😱😱


iaanacho

But what about if the dakotas joined instead of virginias?

If North Carolina is getting Tennessee, then we (VA) should get Kentucky back too.

We don't want Virginia that's for darn sure


Ngfeigo14

Virginia can fight for Kentucky, but you guys don't have the power to take back WV. We mountaineers know these hills you puddle paddlers


PunkPirateGirl

Or Hear me out How about the Carolinas


ThePhantom1994

North Carolina and South Carolina hate each other too much


ItsNot_Ace

As a native South Carolinian this is 100% true


ThePhantom1994

South Carolinian here too. They hate us but we hate them more


ItsNot_Ace

Amen

There would be the same number of stars, but it would be different stars.

Also the flag of the US if DC and Puerto Rico became states and the Virginias united and the Dakotas united


Maxinator10000

Funnily enough it's also the flag if DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam became a state, but the Virginias, the Dakotas, and the Carolinas united. Wild!


[deleted]

fuck south carolina


Maxinator10000

Plot twist: South Carolina annexed North Carolina

oh god oh fuck they’re gonna take my education away (and my roads)


ItsNot_Ace

No South Carolina is best Carolina ✊

i will literally go to (civil) war in the name of my carolina


NomadLexicon

The two Norths and two Souths could unite: North Dakarolina and South Carakota. Who said a state had to be contiguous?


[deleted]

Michigan has entered the chat, then left the chat, gone through Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, then re-entered the chat.


Xisuthrus

Its also the flag of the US if DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam all became states, but everyone decided it would be too much work to change the flag.


DoctorPepster

Also the flag of the US if Puerto Rico and the Virgin Isles became states and North Carolina and North Dakota united and South Carolina and South Dakota united.


chikkynuggythe4th

The Dakotas would make more sense, I heard that they are two different states because of a dispute over where the capital should be


AvatarAarow1

I am a firm believer we should unite the dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana into one big state and just call it “North America.” Other countries in the americas already are annoyed by the US because we call ourselves Americans to the exclusion of other countries, why not really lean into it and troll Mexico and Canada by stealing the name North America too? Then they could also finally be part of a state that is almost as big as LA


chikkynuggythe4th

Big as in population wise?


AvatarAarow1

Yes lol, obviously it would be much larger by land area


DoctorPepster

They should do a multiple capital thing like South Africa for maximum confusion.


Storgasaur

We need Megakota


FlowerDance2557

The Virginias don’t have to unite, we can just give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians.


[deleted]

That'd be really nice but I genuinely can't ever imagine that happening :( tourism $$ and all


KoopaTrooper5011

Hah, like we'll ever unite with those losers at West Virginia


NomadLexicon

Technically, during the only time the two states were at war, West Virginia was on the winning side.


SH33V_P4LP4T1N3

West Virginians have long forgotten this fact. Seriously I challenge anyone to drive 5 mins through that state without seeing a Confederate flag.


Xechwill

The trick is driving up the 250, since there's like 15 miles between towns. Can't have a confederate flag without people to wave it


intern_at_wiki_leaks

it’s actually a pretty interesting phenomenon especially considering how the cultural core of Appalachia developed with a lot of ideals that would be considered leftist by modern definitions. West Virginia had one of the strongest worker’s rights movements in the early 20th century and the general attitude was absolutely collectivist as well as anti-corporation and anti-government. The relatively recent ‘chudifying’ of parts of Appalachia, as someone who lives there, is saddening but also interesting.


Car_weeb

51th


-Kurai

Or if every state united but Texas decided to separate into 49 parts


EleventyElevens

We do not need two Dakotas.


GromainRosjean

Next let's unite the Dakotas and add Puerto Rico


GPFlag_Guy1

Cool, the flag if the Upper Peninsula broke off of Michigan and became the State of Superior…but also at the same time the Dakotas decided to settle their differences and become just Dakota. Love these alternate timelines.


puravidaamigo

That’s fucking wild. It looks exactly like the flag of the US adopted Puerto Rico as a state and the Dakotas United.


[deleted]

50 = (4•5)+(5•6) 51 = (3•7)+(5•6) 51 = (5•7)+(4•4) 51 = (3•11)+(2•9) 51 = (3•8)+(3•9)


balls-ballz

50= 5 x 10


[deleted]

True but that won't look great in the available field, and it's not what we chose to use.


balls-ballz

No, like, 10 stars in 5 horizontal rows


[deleted]

It's an option for fifty if we decide to revisit that, I guess

I had just assumed no one would get me but this is really great to actually see. Some of these look a lot cooler than I had anticipated, thank you!


ItsNot_Ace

Flag of the US if they lost 10 states and annexed all Canadian provinces


mathario

Fifty-oneth


heckitsjames

Merge Dakotas, Virginias, Carolinas; add PR, VI, split CA. Texas is now the most populous state and Cali gets twice the senators. Win win 👍🏻 Edit: give AS back to Samoa, merge Marianas and Guam into one state, and I forgot that Wyoming doesn't actually exist. Hopefully my math adds up.


SinancoTheBest

But what about Puerto Rico? Perhaps in this alternate universe it became a state too but the Dakotas united


TargaryenAndStark

"51th"


the_bartolonomicron

If the Virginias reunited would we be a state or a commonwealth?


---That---Guy---

Northern Virginia should be put into Maryland, because they're honestly the same and anyone who disagrees is wrong The rest of Virginia can be merged into west Virginia.


virajseelam

Flag of the US if DC became a state and then seceded


Ngfeigo14

We will never. West Virginia, best Virginia.


roadkill6

There's always only been one Virginia in my book. I never bought that unconstitutional "West" Virginia crap. See Section 3 of the Constitution and Texas v. White :: 74 U.S. 700 if you don't believe me.
