<the 52 state solution>

Only 51, because Alaska is going to secede. Then we can get $6B every time the Lower 48 wants to use Elmendorff Air Base. We'll "drill till we drop" in ANWR, join OPEC. Siberia will ask to be our colony, and we'll decide to accept that nation-building challenge. As a dowry at the wedding, they'll give Alaska a nuclear arsenal. As a wealthy nuclear power, we'll demand a permanent seat on the Security Council. After watching this, people in Yukon, Alberta, Idaho, N.
