From Twitter:

We need to add PR, DC, and Guam as states.

53 is a prime number

then we can truly be one nation, indivisible

The Atlantic teritories can be combined with San Juan as their state Capitol. The Pacific territories can be combined with Guam's current Capitol as their Capitol. DC can be promoted from a district to a state, OR be given complete autonomy and have two Senators and one or two voting House members.
