It would have had a better chance of making the coalition if they didn't keep leaving it off the map.

Depending on the sea state, Florida qualifies.

One more hurricane should do it.

Do they get separate electoral votes and their own governor then? Could be worth it. If only Democrats could control the weather.

What about Australia? It’s sort of dangling from Papua New Guinea, isn’t it?

True, but since size wasn’t explicitly mentioned as a condition, it should be fine.

Not really dangling. It's side by side.
