There are more Puerto Ricans living within the lower 48 than on Puerto Rico itself already, :(

Regarding the flag, perhaps they could just squeeze an extra star in somewhere there's space?

No, 1/24 venusians are excluded from the data.

Why do nearly all Americans I meet give me 200 years of family history always claim to be from a country they've never visited anyway?

I can't think of any other nation that does that.
It's like you're ashamed of it.

I'm English, Dutch, German and Native American supposedly. In the end i'm just some white anglo saxon with a jaded view on life. None of this other stuff is important. I've been to England and France. I don't consider myself French though.

You've met Americans who know 200 years of their family history? That's pretty rare.
