I don't know about you, but if, say, Kazakhstan went to the U.S. or Morocco went up to China and said, "We're not doing too well, can we join your country? Here is our land and our people", I think the country they "capitulated" to would laugh and say, "Nice try. We're not solving all your problems for you." Not very realistic. I don't expect a country to capitulate to someone else because they're losing the "Game of Earth".

The issue of Puerto Rico becoming a state has come up many times. You know what? They don't want it. They like being a territory (a vassal). If they became a State, they would have to pay for all the State government, pay taxes, etc. As it is, the Federal government pays for everything for them.
