Part of the compromise that allowed Ukrainian & Belarusian SSRs to join the UN was that 2 American states also be allowed to join, but that was never acted upon because of the difficulty of deciding which 2 states. Stalin never would've agreed to all 48 states joining even if all 16 SSRs were...

Then it wouldn't be the Republic of Hong Kong. It'd be something along the lines of the Union of Hong Kong or just Hong Kong. Also Zara Phillips doesn't have a title. She's just Ms Zara Philliups (professionally) or Mrs Michael Tindall (socially). And Diana was never Lady Spencer, it was...
