There have been numerous rumors regarding the potential of a 51st state entering the United States of America for a long time. The 51st state does not, however, exist, at least not yet. In 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state to join the Union, marking the last occasion a new state was admitted. Since that time, no additional states have joined the union.
That said, a number of territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands, are under the purview of the US government. Despite having varied degrees of self-government, these areas are not regarded as states.
Let’s go on to the other queries now. Without Alaska, the overall land area of the United States is roughly 8.08 million square kilometers. After Canada and Russia, the USA is now the third-largest nation on Earth.
With a total area of 1.72 million square kilometers, Alaska is the largest state in the USA in terms of state size. However, Alaska is one of the least populous states in terms of population, with little over 700,000 people living there. California, on the other hand, has more than 39 million citizens, making it the most populated state in the USA. The state that is the same size as Germany is Montana. The overall area of Montana is 380,800 square kilometers, or 357,385 square kilometers less than Germany.
Is Texas, at last, the biggest state in the USA? Not at all, no. Texas is the second-biggest state in the USA after Alaska, which is the largest state as was previously said. With a population of nearly 29 million people, Texas has a total size of 696,200 square kilometers.
In conclusion, the USA does not have a 51st state, but it does have a number of territories that are governed by it. Aside from Alaska, the United States is the third-largest nation in the world, and Montana is the only state that is as vast as Germany. Last but not least, Texas is the second-biggest state in the USA despite not being the largest.
