True but rockets that aren't the space shuttle have a launch escape system that carries the capsule full of humans far away from the exploding rocket.

The space shuttle had that too. Well, technically it was a jettison for the rockets/fuel tank, then the orbiter would glide away. But the incident happened too fast for that.

Yeah they're comparing individual countries to the EU, when each country within has their own Olympic committee that sends their own athletes.

It would be like the US sending 20 teams to each event.

Stalin tried to get individual seating for the 15 constituent republics of the USSR in the United Nations. He backed off when Roosevelt threatened to get a separate seat for each of the 48 States.

I know there's a lot to hate about this graph, but my favorite (obviously) is how it ignores the surviving Eastern Empire.

the US considers places like Guam and Puerto Rico as "territories" rather than "states" (which has been a point of contention in Puerto Rico especially, since territories don't get any congressional representation yet the Puerto Rican population is larger than several full fledged states).

All of the states (besides the original 13, Maine, Kentucky, West Virginia, Vermont, Texas, and California) used to be territories. Puerto Rico has voted to remain a territory and not become a state every time the issue has come up.

Note that this doesn't affect their legal standing - Puerto Ricans are US citizens.

Those states are all fairly different and the solution to the USA’s problems is not “hahaha lol punish the bad dumb states because they can’t make metropolis and vote bad wrong”

Letting the Confederacy split off would've solved it.

The US wouldn't have Texas dragging it down, and the CS would've been so reactionary it would collapse in communist revolution like tsarist Russia.

Just imagine, the North blocked from doing an imperialism in Latin America, while the South flourishes under Marxist-Longism.
