Should the US have state flags instead of country flags, considering many of our states are more populous, developed, and prosperous than entire European countries?

No. If you want separate flags then you break up the Union and stop pretending your bloated, space-wasting federation is a single country.

At least a state flag following the country flag if we can get any kind of concession.
Other large countries could get the same deal.

Is it even possible? Are there state specific IPs? Serious question.

You do realize that's impossible due to the way the IP tracking works to pick up flag data here?
Also, stop being so entitled, Americunts. Americans make a much less percentage of /int/'s posters than you think.

Strictly speaking: No
ISPs are given a range (subnet) of IPs, however they will always devide these over blocks (states). To get this information, you'd have to either have lots of input from users, or get the list from the ISP.
