THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1. The USA is a federal republic of 50 states. Besides 48 states which are in the same general area, the United States includes the state of Alaska at the north-western extreme of North America and the island state of Hawaii in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The conterminous states are bounded on the north by Canada, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The national capital is Washington, which is coextensive with the district of Columbia, the federal capital region created in 1790.
2. The total area of the United States is 3679192 square miles (9529063 sq. km.), making it the fourth country in the world in area. Outlying territories and other politically associated areas in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea add approximately 4000 square miles to this figure.
3. The major characteristic of the United States is probably its great variety. Its physical environment ranges from the Arctic to the subtropical, from the most rain forest to the arid desert, from the mountain peak to the flat prairie. Although the total population of the United States is large by world standards, its overall population density is relatively low; the country embraces some of the world’s largest urban concentrations as well as some of the most extensive areas that are almost devoid of habitation.
4. The United States contains a highly diverse population; but its diversity has to a great degree come from an immense and sustained global immigration. Probably no other country has a wider range of racial, ethnic and cultural types than does the United States. In addition to the presence of surviving native Americans (including American Indians, Aleuts and Eskimo) and the descendants of Africans taken as slaves to America, the national character has been enriched, tested, and constantly redefined by millions of immigrants who have gone to America hoping for greater social, political and economic opportunities than they had in the places they left.
5. The United States is the world’s greatest economic power, measured in terms of gross national product. The nation’s wealth is partly a reflection of its rich natural recourses and its enormous agricultural output, but it owes more to the country’s highly developed industry. Despite its relative economic self-sufficiency in many areas, the United States is the most important single factor in world trade by virtue of the sheer size of its economy. Its exports and imports represent major proportions of the world total. The United States also impinges on the global economy as a source of and as a destination for investment capital. However the financial crisis in 2008 had a great impact on the country’s economy, and now the USA is gradually overcoming economic problems. The United States continues to sustain an economic life providing the majority of its people with one of the world’s highest standards of living.

1. What is the USA bounded on?
2. What is the total area of this country?
3. What is the country’s variety manifested in?
4. Why is the population of the United States highly diverse?
