You all do realize that the USA has no interest in taking any of you in as new states don't you? We want to sell you our goods and services, exploit your natural resources, send our coporations over to set up sweat shops, and finance it all by loaning you back your own money at interest. All the while we will be secretly replacing your own indiginous culture with our special blend of freeze-dried pop-culture. To do all this we need you to
officially maintain your status as an independant nation. Allowing you to join us as a state would give you too much protection and equality under our laws, and we
can't have that can we?
