hey, all. this is something i've been batting around for a while, and i'll have to get to it eventually considering that the Philippines are admitted to the United States in my ASB ATL
basically, i want to figure out what would happen after the Philippines Territory is ratified as three separate states (Luzon, Visaya, and Mindanao from north to south). why are they three states instead of one? the Philippines have a huge population, and each state would still have a very high population (with Luzon being the most populous). because of this huge population, they would receive a large number of electoral votes and could thus greatly affect how US elections go from them on
i'm not here to ask about how they're admitted as states, this thread is about what could happen after they're ratified.
