Is it ultimately feasible for a nation to become a state?

/in /by

Structure of the essay in this way :
1) Brief Intro
2) Arguments for statehood
3) Arguments anti-statehood
4) Prompt: Is it ultimately feasible for this nation to become a state?
I will also provide an instruction/brainstorm for the essay and what it should look like roughly. It’s basically comparing and contrasting statehood VS anti-statehood. The position I chose is pro-statehood, so i’d appreciate if you include that in the essay.
