For an explanation of this post and the origin of these designs, see the Introduction. The recent vote of Washington, DC to petition to become a state has inspired me to start publishing these again.
We would a need flag of 61 stars if all of the following occurred:
- the Six Californias initiative had been successful
- Puerto Rico became a state
- The District of Columbia became a state
- The New York Partition movement were successful
- The Illinois Partition movement were successful
- The Texas Division movement were successful
- Baja Arizona became a separate state (I recognize this may be partly satire, but the proposed state animal is Wile E. Coyote, which is too fun not to include).
This design has been suggested elsewhere.
