There are many steps on creating a state. first, you need to figure out what laws you need to follow. You'll need to figure out the state symbols, and why the state is important. You also need to know how much taxes a will cost, and you will need to know the best way to take care of the economy.

in my state i will make sure everyone is happy. I make ways where my state won't be pollution. In my state i would not want people to be homeless so s they only had to pay 51% of their house . my state would include the normal things like a state flower, a state bird, a state seal, a state flag, and a state tree. in my state anything bad like drugs, cigarettes, and anything else like that won't even be sold their if someone is caught selling them they will be arrested and stay in jail for 6 weeks. in my state animals would not be killed the only meat people can eat are fish. people can still eat animal products like eggs.

Tax can't be that high or people won't want to live in your state, but there needs to be tax. That tax helps the homeless, people in need, the roads get better, and makes education better.

What will your state flag look like?

What will students learn in school?

Can you change laws that allow minor to smoke or drive at a younger age? How about banning it altogether?

I need to have a convincing speech about boosting U.S economy and industries. I would need a super majority vote from the Government of the U.S if Trump refutes my idea. My state flag will have a Chakra in the middle with a spectrum of color. NO SMOKING, DRINKING BEER, OR CARRYING NARCOTICS. Weapons will be banned. There will be no artificial narcotic respiration. Spanning from California to Nebraska. Littering is 1k fine.

If I could make a state, it would be called Napolin. People would have to pay $3,000 a year for taxes. The prices would be a bit lower here and houses

States need to have some type of agriculture to sustain a population of people. It is probably a good idea to think about taxation and how the population would feel if you have a certain tax rate. You need to have a tax rate at the sweet spot. If it is too high, people will have to face extreme poverty and soon will overthrow your government. You definitely to find an good piece of land to start your state. If your state is in an area with not a lot of tourism or natural resources. This way, you can get money from trading agriculture and tourism. You definitely need to make sure your state is a place where people want to be in, unlike Jacob's Baseball only state.

If I were to create a state, I would first have to make a voting place so that I can know the majority of people that would want to live  there. And if the people already living in the area don't want to live in a new state will get 20% off on 27 things that are $100 or more. My state would need to be a separate state because

Some things that we would need think about to get people to move to your state and want to live there are that the people and goverment both agree with your rules and polosees. You would have to have good jobs in it and good schools so people want to move there. You would have to think about something that would draw the people into your state so they are entertained. You would have to think about your state being healthy like food, air, and good medical insurance so people don't get sick.

# data[].attributes.body
The first thing you need to know is why would you separate it in to another state? You will need a government, a mayor and schools and businesses. Every state has a motto based on what there state is known for.

Some things that the 51 state should have is you want great rules to follow so there isn't a lot of crime and bad things will happen. There will no state tax, but things will cost i bit more so the state ca be on its feet so it isn't a poor state. There will be a rule of no smoking. you can drive a car at the age of 14.

I need to get a vote to see if a majority of people want it to be a state. Then go to the government to get it approved with the the senate house and the house of representatives, also the president, but if it gets denied by the president  it goes to  the super majority vote.

After, that this will be things to think when make the state.

"what will my flag be?"
" should I change the driving rules?"
"can I allow 30% taxes on cars,but give them 5 free iPhone?"
" Tax 4% on foods on Thursdays, but 10 free vegetables on every Fridays"

If I create the 51st state it has to be approved by the goverm

What I will do is get a good amount of money and people's votes for (yes). The reason it should be a seperate state is because we are as equal as the other one's, for example government super smart and uses it money cleverly and the hard workers taxes to good uses (2% tax). We are requesting be a the bottom of the U.S.A cause we are pure solar powered state to help the envoronment. And if your worried about crops we will get food from partnered states.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the 51st state should be like a paradise for travellers. My state's motto will be: Living a great life is always better than living a bad one. Everyone will live a wonderful life, no one will have to face poverty or anything like that. It will be located right next to California. Smoking and illegal drugs will be banned. My state flag will have the sun on top and water all over the flag.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there are many factors that approve the way that I can create the 51st state. All the states need to be approved by congress and the leader, the President. It doesn't actually matter if the president is not approving the 51st state. If 2/3 of the people are voting for the state then people are going to make that state. Also Congress will approve it. It shouldn't be communist also.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I should add kids rule parents. I will look at videos to see how to make a good 51 state.(IT WILL BE THE BEST!!!!!!!)

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the resources that my state would have would be some natural things such as rivers, valleys, canyons, and other natural things. This way I can attract tourists. You also might want to think about the amount of land in your state.

If I could create a state it will be called poodama. I will try to take a part of Texas for poodama.( Because that state is the biggest. To make i would make sure that everyone would like to make that a state. If the president will not agree, I will make sure that what every he wants I will put it in the state. If I want to make that a state then I will let the people who lives there pay some for the money. I will charge taxes 5% but the people will not get anything free. I will not let poodama have any smoke shops so that the environment will be very clean. I will think of laws that would make the state better and the people happier.  There will be a little bit of education so that the kids can learn stuff. The schools will be fun learning so that everyone will enjoy school.

# data[].attributes.body
you need to make sure that people will like you state . you need to make sure the high rulers will agree and you need to have good ruling so that you state will actually be able to live in

I would need to have a good reputation and have a lot of people vote on my side. I would also need to think about where my state would be located and what the landscape would be like.

If I could create the 51st state, it would be called Koojyma.  Koojyma would be near California.  Important things I will have to think about if others would agree to create my state. (And if anyone would vote for it).  I would also make sure that the state deserves votes, I can't just make any random new state.  I need to make sure whether people would want the state.  Will Trump agree?

I would create this state because some states have important laws, some really strict.  If I create Koojyma, it can have different laws than other states so many people would want to live there.  Sometimes when states are created, people who already live there may want to move.  But if I create Koojyma, most likely stay would want to stay because, like I said, Koojyma has different and more free rules than other states.

Kids at school would learn everything else other regular schools learn, but they learn more advanced things. For example, first grade they learn multiplication.  If I do this kids could get smarter.

All states have to get approved by a vast majority of people. You would have be approved by the citizens of the area, the congress and house, and of course, Donald Trump. It is a extremely hard feat to accomplish just because you need so many people to accept the idea. And on top of all that, you would have to think about how it would be run.

# data[].attributes.body
I would tell lots of people so that  people can come to my state. When someone moves here, they get a free phone, and car. In my state, the students will learn about the importance of having fun.

The first thing you need to think about is to see weather people would want to live at your state. You will also need to make sure that enough people vote for your state. You also need to think of the laws for the state.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make sure that the state is a democrat state. Also my state would be a big tourist attraction, it would be really close to the ocean with many beaches. Also it would be a luxury living place with homes costing from 900,000 - 10,000,000. The rap industry would be big in that area. The taxes would be high in that area and would benifit the economy... OF THE STATE. Oh, yeah! 99.9999% of the taxes go to the state. The state flag will have a dragon. There would be a strict... NO DRUGS law. There would be a statue of every celebrity who lives there.

I think when creating a state you need to have rules, a president, laws, and many more important things. When your creating a state there is many steps to do so. First, well you need a nickname, a name, a state flower, a state fruit, a state tree ,etc. Second, you need your state to pass the three levels of congress. The Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch. You need the towns people in other cities and states to vote on what they think about you State. There is many question that people may ask, "What schools are there?" What are the monthly tax fee's?" Who is gonna be Governer?" And lots more. Once you State is approved with the three branches you need to organize your state and create many important things. Soon you will see your State coming together after establishing very important things.

# data[].attributes.body
I would need to get past the congress and the president. If they agree I could make my own state. I would also want not only kids to like my state. Also I would need nice weather for my state. I think it should be over near California since it has good weather.

# data[].attributes.body
If you created a 51st state, some things you would need to think about are if the people who live in your state want to go join the USA, then they have to vote, and if he majority of the people want to go to the USA, then you would need to show proof to the USA government that the majority of the people actually want to go to USA. If the president doesn't approve, and nobody intervenes, then your state cannot join the USA. But if the president doesn't approve, and at least 2/3 of Congress steps out and intervenes, then their word overrules the president's. But to get the vote of congress, or to convince the president to allow your state to join the USA, there needs to be something about your state to persuade them, because some people who live in the USA don't want another state to join. Like if you make your state completely solar powered, or if you have low taxes. But to join countries like the USA, there are also some things that you cannot be, like if you are a communist country, it's very, very unlikely that the president or the Congress will accept your state into the USA. These are the basic things you need to know if you want to join your state with another country.

It will probably be good if you have all the stuff you need on your state box . So get some stuff put together like agriculture and activities that would make people want to visit. I don't believe that the U.S. doesn't want more food and tourism.

You might want to think about many things for a 51st state. One thing that you should definitely think about is what the people and the government would think about it. Some people might think that we already have too many states and 50 is the right number. Other people might think that we need more states. The government and the president play a big role. They can easily refuse or support the idea. If they say no, then no 51st state. If they say yes, then there can be a 51st state. The second thing you might want to think about is the amount of money it will take. If it will cost a lot of money, then that might block the idea of a 51st state. You would might want a small state  like Rhode Island so that It will also be easier to handle the amount of land. Too much land will be hard to control. The third thing you might want to think about is sales tax. The more sales tax, the less people will come to the state. The fourth thing you might want to think about is education. If there is good education there, more people will come to live there. Another thing that is important and you might want to think about is the laws. Maybe increase the age of smoking.

If I made a 51st state I would have to think about many things. I would have to make sure that your state had a nickname and reps. of the state (flower, bird, etc.) I would also need to make sure that people wanted to live in your state. I would also need leaders such as a Govener and Goverment. I would also make tax rules and laws for my state. I would also have to make jobs. I would also have to choose where my state would be. I would also have to have a state flag made. I would make sure that there were houses, stores, etc. were built and once communities were build they were maintained.
