You guys have it backwards, we need to merge two states together to keep it at 50.

I suggest Maryland and Delaware.

why not rhode island since it's pointless to have a state that small... (how big is puerto rico...?)

It's pointless to have a state that small in size, but Rhode Island has a decent-sized population. It's pointless to have a state with as small a population as Wyoming, but it's pretty big by area.

My solution: we merge Rhode Island and Wyoming. The resulting state would be one of the ten largest by area and not one of the ten smallest by population.
