In Reply to: The European Union does not permit us to speak accurately of a `United States of Europe' as an entity analogous to the United States of America. France is in no danger of being relegated to "the equivalent of Nebraska" as supporters of the "No" vote in the Maastricht referendum claimed. posted by Francisco Rubio Llorente on November 07, 1998 at 00:44:40:

Alaska and Hawaii were no longer defined (U.S. Code) as states when they joined the Union.

The above must not be States any longer but just legal fictions; franchises of the Internationally recognized State called the "United States."

The "States in Free Association" (26)(63rd Congress, Oct, 3, 1913. sess. I., CH. 16, page 177)
The above States referred to as state(s) in U.S. Code has caused many much confusion!

Some of these "States" are or were the District of Columbia, American Somoa, Guam, Commonwealth of Porto Rico, Virgin Islands, Midway Island, Wake Island, Johnston Island, Baker, Howland and Jarvis Islands, Navassa Island + on .
