Albania has often been called the 51st state for its perceived strongly pro-American positions, mainly because of the United States' policies towards it. In reference to President George W. Bush's 2007 European tour, Edi Rama, Tirana's mayor and leader of the opposition Socialists, said: "Albania is for sure the most pro-American country in Europe, maybe even in the world ... Nowhere else can you find such respect and hospitality for the President of the United States. Even in Michigan, he wouldn't be as welcome." At the time of ex-Secretary of State James Baker's visit in 1992, there was even a move to hold a referendum declaring the country as the 51st American state. In addition to Albania, Kosovo which is predominately Albanian is seen as a 51st state due to the heavily presence and influence of the United States. The US has had troops and the largest base outside US territory, Camp Bondsteel in the territory since 1999.
Is there an answer to this question (If it cannot be answered, say "unanswerable"): What is the name of the largest US military base outside of US territory?
Camp Bondsteel
Albanien har ofta kallats den 51:a staten för sina upplevda starkt proamerikanska ståndpunkter, främst på grund av USA:s politik gentemot den. Med hänvisning till president George W. Bushs Europaturné 2007 sade Edi Rama, Tiranas borgmästare och oppositionssocialisternas ledare: "Albanien är säkert det mest proamerikanska landet i Europa, kanske till och med i världen ... Ingen annanstans kan du finna sådan respekt och gästfrihet för Förenta staternas president. Inte ens i Michigan skulle han vara lika välkommen." Vid tiden för den före detta statssekreterare James Bakers besök 1992 skedde till och med ett drag att hålla en folkomröstning som förklarade landet som den 51:a amerikanska staten. Utöver Albanien ses Kosovo, som främst är albanskt, som en 51:a stat på grund av USA:s stora närvaro och inflytande. USA har haft trupper och den största basen utanför USA:s territorium, Camp Bondsteel i territoriet sedan 1999. Finns det ett svar på denna fråga (om den inte kan besvaras, säg "obesvarbar"): Vad heter den största amerikanska militärbasen utanför USA:s territorium?
