How many 52 states are there?

I'm curious, could you please clarify your question for me? The United States of America is often referred to as having 50 states, not 52. Are you perhaps asking about a specific context or scenario where the number 52 is mentioned in relation to states, or is this a rhetorical question aimed at highlighting a common misconception? It would be helpful to have a bit more context to provide an accurate and informative response.
