This is a problem that's worried me for quite some time :
if and when there are 51 United States, then how should the resulting 51 stars be arranged on the "Stars and Stripes" flag?
It's all very well to plan ahead, John, but I don't think Tony Blair could take the role reversal of being an American province. California would object to losing its #1 position in population and wackiness. And we're supposed to guarantee our states a Republican form of government -- what would become of the Queen?
Besides, we don't even speak the same language. :-) [Or :-o) in the British spelling.]
Richard has a legitimate point, particularly the following proposed 51 star flag arrangement looks suspiciously British. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Regards Otto otto@olympus.net
