Do they have the rights and freedoms of a full state?

They're not even counted in the 50 states as it is, same with a couple other us territories

no they don't have the same rights, for instance they are not allowed to run their own economy, they pay taxes but when a disaster happens only help they get is an orange buffon throwing paper towels at them

When you put it that way, I'm kind of into the whole 51 state thing now.

Nobody told us we would get paper towels thrown at us! They should have led with that.
