Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

Following the pattern of bisected, which is Latin, 4 through 6 would be quatresected, quinquesected (or cinquesected), and sexected. If you prefer to switch to Greek roots, it’s tetrasected, pentasected, and heptasected; 2 with a Greek root would be disected, but that already means something else.

Comparison to quartered is uglier; 2 is obviously halved, but 3, 5, and 6 are harder. My first instinct was ‘thirded’, but I don’t think so. ‘halved’ ≠ ‘seconded’, and I can’t think of anything that would be to ‘thirded’ as ‘halved’ is to ‘seconded’

Israel is America’s client state. If Israel magically ceased to exist, America would recreate it, so as to maintain their military position in the region. If America magically ceased to exist, Israel would soon follow.

It would solve America’s antivax issue at least.
