Number 1: The United States of America is a federal republic consisting of 50 States and is the third largest country in the world by landmass – nearly as big as the entire continent of Europe, the population in 2021 is estimated to be 330 million.

Number 2: The Statue of Liberty is 93 meters tall and was a gift from the people of France to the United States in 1886. Possibly, the most iconic symbol of the United States.

Number 3: The United States has maintained its position of being the world’s largest economy since 1871. The economy is so large that the US is often noted as an economic superpower and this is due to the fact that it makes up almost a quarter of the global economy.

Number 4: The bourbon industry is growing at a fast pace. This is great news for Kentucky, as they produce 96 percent of the world’s bourbon. Due to the high demand, Kentucky stores about 4.7 million barrels filled with bourbon. Surprisingly the number of barrels outweighs the population of Kentucky as there are 4.3 million residents.

Number 5: The Gateway Arch, also known as the “Gateway to the West” is a monument in St. Louis, Missouri, and sits along the west bank of the Mississippi River. At 192 meters tall, the Gateway Arch claims the title of the tallest man-made monument in the US.

Number 6: Since the office was established in 1789, 45 people have served in 46 presidencies, four of them were assassinated. The first president was George Washington and the current one is Joe Biden.

Number 7: The great lakes: Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario make up 21 percent of the planet's surface fresh water. The largest of these, Lake Superior, contains enough water to cover all of North and South America in 30cm of water.

Number 8: Russia sold Alaska to the United States for 2 cents per acre. The largest state in the nation by far is Alaska, and it came cheap at just $7.2 million total. In just 50 years following the purchase, America made their money back more than 100 times over.

Number 9: More people live in New York City than in 40 out of 50 states. New York City may be geographically tiny, but it’s home to 8.5 million people and growing. That’s more bodies crammed into one location than the whole wide countryside including 40 other states.

Number 10: On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the worlds first national park. There are more than 10,000 hydrothermal features in Yellowstone. The four types of thermal features are geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles.

America.

Fun fact: The United States don’t have a official language. Which shows true respectfulness for its Indigenous peoples. Plus other people who don’t have English blood.

1. The USA has 56 political division (50 states, District of Columbia, and five territories).
2. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the USA was the first to have a practical republican form of government.

You can be born in India but that doesn’t make you Indian. You can be born in France but that doesn’t make you French. If you are born in the USA then you are an American citizen.
