Você sabe realmente quantos Estados os EUA tem? Nem eles.

50 states and 1 district?
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia*, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Different opinions:
1) There are really 48 states because they don’t count Hawaii and Alaska as states there, in the USA.
2) There aren’t 50 states. Massachusetts and Kentucky are Commonwealths ( = Comunidade Britanica)
3) There are at least two Republics and 4 Commonwealths in the United States, that would leave 44 'States' plus the District of Columbia if you choose to include that as well.
4) You all agreed that DC is a district. Well, officially Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Massachusetts are all commonwealths. Further more, if these commonwealths, which are political units having local autonomy but voluntarily united with the U.S., are included as part of the United States, then are Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands considered 51 & 52?
5) The District of Columbia has the same laws and rights that the other 50 do, so why must we discriminate? It is a state too.
6) 52 states. Hawaii is the 50th State, Alaska and New Mexico are the last two states.
7) 4 Commonwealths, one District, and 46 states
8) 49. Hawaii is not a state. Clinton Confirmed it back in he 90's in the United Nations.
9) There are only 42 states. If you think about it they are all classified as states, but 7 aren’t recognized by the government therefore they don’t have a state university. All the government recognized states have a university such as the University of Alabama or the University of California. Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, they all do not have a university.
10) There are only 46 states and one district. In addition there are also 4 commonwealths (Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia)

To sum up: what's the correct answer? They even don't know.
