America has 46 states not 50

They don't teach you that in school do they? So the UK would be the 47, Canada 48 and Porto rico is 49th if you want to start conquering.

  • lolno. There are 50 states in the United States. The term "commonwealth" has no legal impact here and was created during the colonial period to show a government based around the common consent of the people rather than the monarch of Great Britain. Hell, Vermont uses the term "commonwealth" multiple times in it's constitution. A state is defined as "a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government". Seeing as how the four commonwealths are territories of the federal government and each commonwealth has an organized political community under one government, they are therefore a state.

    QI has got things wrong. This is another case of pseudo-intellectual dichotomous thinking. Yes four are commonwealths... But they are also states.

      That isn't really accurate to say because the definition of state doesn't depend on the government running it. They should have focused on the dumb north,west,south state set up we have

    • Imagine sending officers into Congress and bodily removing the Representatives and Senators from those non-state commonwealths.
