Our Next 50 States
or:
How To Fix Our Democracy For A More Perfect Union
What is the City States project?
City States is a proposal to create 50 new U.S. states based on major metropolitan areas. The goal is to address the undemocratic nature of institutions like the Senate and Electoral College by rebalancing representation through the addition of city-based states. The new states would be defined by existing county borders and would be created by carving out portions of current states, offering a modern approach to fixing the imbalance in our democracy and creating "a more perfect Union" as envisioned in the constitution.

“New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”
