Okay so let me make my case against the supposed "state of Montana" as there are probably a few of you who want some clarification.

Montana does not actually exist. There is a giant lake where we think Montana is, and it is used by the Japanese as a fishing colony. You see, during World War II, the Japanese actually had a land invasion of the west coast of the United States and made it all the way to the Rocky Mountains and made a stronghold in Montana. Japanese forces were pushed back everywhere except the lake. As part of the peace treaty between the United States and Japan, the Japanese maintained control over the lake, and they have had control over it ever since.

Now, the reason why the United States does not let the public know about this is because it would be detrimental to the look of our flag. 50 states means 50 stars, and 50 stars is much more aesthetically pleasing than 49 stars. Therefore, the government maintains the idea that Montana is our 50th state. 

And to those who don't believe me, can you prove me wrong? Do you know anybody from Montana? Have you ever been to Montana yourself? Of course you haven't, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST! If you do know someone from Montana, they are simply a pawn hired by the government to misinform the public. And if you claim to be from Montana, you are simply living in a virtual reality world created by the government to make you think you're in Montana, when you're actually in an underground bunker at Guantanamo Bay. Face the facts and quit being sheep, MONTANA DOES NOT EXIST.
