I wonder what would happen if the US annexed the Canal Zone and made it a US state.

We've got Alaska and Hawaii, which are well away from the US mainland, and they're states. The CZ had a lot of Americans living there, although I don't know if it would be enough for full-blown statehood.

The POD would have to be before the treaties with Panama that ensured we'd return the CZ to them.
