There are some things you just take for granted. Maybe because you learned them in elementary school when your teacher knew *everything* and you didn't question it. There are 9 planets. There are 7 continents. There are 50 states.
Only, now there aren't. As you hopefully know, Pluto is no longer recognized as a planet. But what you might not know, is that Puerto Rico just took another step in becoming the 51st state.

So prepare to buy a new flag, I guess, and when you do please avoid the irony and make sure its made in the US.
