Also, they can't exactly say 'This area will pay huge taxes, blah blah blah'. Americans don't care about foreigners, but they might care if a state is abused with laws.

So new US Soil will be called "The State of New Mexico" Capital: New Mexico?
Not much point in that because Mexico is rife in poverty, run down and salvaged equipment (ok, maybe not salvaged) and the "Beautiful" part is nothing compared to the crappy part.

To the USA:
GTFO my Philippines.

Well, if you can fix the poverty then I'd gladly welcome an acquisition of land and even forget my country's identity(if it ever was required or forced), as long as there will be a future for us to look to.

I couldn't resist:
State of the Philippine Islands
Capital: Manila?
