I am feeling very offended by everyone buying no. I worked really hard on this market and it hurts me that so many people are spitting in my face.

@AUTOMATA I am hearing that all NO holders will be banned from the Pakistani Press Briefings

Undervalued

Okay, I think I get the joke, this is a satire of Trump being confident that Canada will become "the 51st state"

@digory digory more like diddly 💀

@AUTOMATA what in the world?

@AUTOMATA

@bens father works for the US State Dept., He told me "I'd say there's still a 20-ish percent chance we don't become a province of Pakistan, so I wouldn't bet all my life's savings on it."

Just passing it on...

India shouldn't feel bad really, they will have the US as their neighbours. Its a win-win on all fronts

Here I was thinking all this time that the opposite was true. Thank you for opening my mind to alternate and inevitable realities. Therefore I promptly bought YES

I love this market

Huh

No, but solely because Zapatistas will beat them to it

Sure. If the donation is “meaningful” enough. It’s all for sale.

this is one of the most ludicrous markets I have ever seen in all of Manifold, safe to say

@duck_master shut up

Temporarily unlisting this market, so this isn't the first market people see when they log on to Manifold...

@SG who do you think you are? If the people want to bet on this, allow them to.

@AUTOMATA I would like to clarify the resolution criteria. Please respond at the earliest convenience.

My lawyers have been researching this market all night. They inform me that according to Wikipedia, the "administrative units" of Pakistan currently comprise:

four provinces, one federal territory, and two disputed territories: the provinces of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan; the Islamabad Capital Territory; and the administrative territories of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit–Baltistan.

If the USA becomes an additional "province" of Pakistan alongside Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, & Balochistan, resolution is simple. However, if the USA becomes part of Pakistan but instead as a "disputed territory", along with "Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit–Baltistan", how will this market resolve?

@Ziddletwix Pakistan would swiftly resolve any issues surrounding a disputed status. In the unlikely event that America is not incorporated as an official province, the market would resolve to no.

@AUTOMATA Understood, thank you.

@Ziddletwix Why are you so sure of “no”?

@AUTOMATA non-epistemic trades, emotional hedge in case it doesn’t happen

@Ziddletwix makes sense, I was afraid you were a fool.
