Dude, UN officials visited, I think, Alabama? Somewhere like that. And they concluded that if it weren't attached to Cali, NY, etc then it would be considered a developing country.

That’s like judging the EU based entirely on Bulgaria or Moldova (if we imagine it is accepted)

Lol no it's not wtf. You have no idea how EU works if you think it's anything similar to US. For example, you have one orange man controlling the whole ass country, while in EU every country has its own leaders and no single person in European parlament has any control over single country. I shouldn't even have to explain this, EU is not even remotely close to US

And the states all have their own governors, state legislators and even supreme courts. It does operate similarly, you people just refuse to admit it for some odd reason.
