No, this is what we do. 51=17x3. 52=26x2. 53, however is a prime number so it can't be divided.
We make PR a state, Guam, and DC.
AND WE BECOME.... One nation, indivisible.
No silly, we COMBINE some of the 18 low-population states so we can go back to 48! One nation 6x8, with a better balance in representation! Or 45 could be nice as well.

"to make it easier for some of you if your state starts with a cardinal direction congrats you've already got a preassigned merge buddy and new name!"... "ah no Kansas, 'Ar' is not a direction, you and Arkansas wont work you don't even share a border hun" "...unless" Kansouri-Oklasas
