Altered States - Comprehensive article about the various movements to create new states; the history of such movements, the reasons why they start, and why they fail.

I counted 31 references to "new" states, including Atlantis and Cherronesus.

Also discussed is why it's more likely we'll see 52 states than 51. Plus I never knew that Albania was being considered for statehood.

It's located between Mississipatonia and Floridonavik.
