There are currently 50 official states however Washington, DC and Puerto Rico have representatives in congress.\n\nPuerto Rico recently voted not to become the 51 state in the Union but is protected by the US as is The Us Virgin Islands and Guam.\n\nAnd let's not forget that the US is the Police force of the Earth so I guess even tho they are not actually part of the US the entire Planet is controled in some way by the US.

Long history lesson here... Some states were the original united states original 13 colonies.. Other states were governed by other countries... France had Lousiana.. Spain had parts of what is now the united states. If i'm not mistaken I think Texas was the only state that was its own republic after fighting from indepence from Mexico.

50 states, and lots of other islands, etc. that are governed by us, such as Puerto Rico and American Samoa.  They wish they were states.\n\nSamoa, and Washington DC both have people in them, who for various reasons, wish to become states, but congress is to busy for their appeals.
