Today the United States of America, USA, remains the planet's only true super power, both in economic and military terms. world's third-largest country by size after Russia and Canada and by population after China and India. As the world's largest economy, it's a significant leader in the fields of agriculture, education, energy, health care, high-tech, service industries, space exploration, and manufacturing of all descriptions.

The country includes 50 states; 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii, the newest state. Dozens of major cities cover the land from coast-to-coast, and Washington D.C., the capital, reflects the incredible history of America, and stands as a proud symbol of its freedom, liberty, and justice for all. USA is home to several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably.

The U S was fashioned from an incredibly disparate population who, with little in common apart from a desire to choose their own paths to wealth or heaven, rallied around the ennobling ideals of the Declaration of Independence to forge the richest, most inventive and most powerful country on earth.
