Albania

By -

 Albania is often referred to as the 51st state for its clearly pro-American stance, mainly because of the United States' policy towards it. Referring to President George W. Bush's 2007 tour of Europe, Edi Rama, Mayor of Tirana and leader of the opposition socialists, said: “Albania is undoubtedly the most pro-American country in Europe, and perhaps even in the world. .. Nowhere else will you find such respect and hospitality for the President of the United States. Even in Michigan he would not have received such a warm welcome. " During a visit by former Secretary of State James Baker in 1992, an attempt was even made to hold a referendum declaring the country the 51st state of America. Apart from Albania, Kosovo (predominantly Albanian) is considered the 51st state due to the strong presence and influence of the United States. Since 1999, the United States has troops and the largest base outside the United States, Camp Bondsteel.

The United States did not want to accept the Republic as it would entail a war with Mexico. The state did not last long.
