The United States of America
The United States of America is a federal republic. It is situated in North America and consists of 50 states and the District of Columbia, the seat of the national government. The capital of the USA is Washington. The total area is about 9.4 million square kilometers. The population is over 260,000. Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the USA borders on Canada in the North and on Mexico in the South.
The USA has a favorable geographic position. It is rich in natural resources. Its territory possesses over 100 kinds of various minerals. It abounds in oil, coal, non-ferrous metals, iron-ore, timber. Vast areas of fertile land allow the country to develop its agricultural production.
A vital role in the formation of the population of the United States was played by the immigration. The USA is inhabited by people of numerous nationalities. Whites constitute about 84 per cent, blacks about 12 per cent, Asians – 3 per cent, Hispanics – 9 per cent and Native Americans about 1 per cent.
The United States has three separate branches of government: the legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative power is concentrated in the Congress. The executive power is represented by the President. The judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court and a system of federal courts.
The two major political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
As a result of the creativity, initiative and hard work which free enterprise has encouraged, the USA has become one of the most affluent nations in the world.
The United States of America was originally peopled by Indians and was opened to European colonization by the first voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The United States has often been called a nation of immigrants. There are two good reasons for it.
First, the country was settled, built and developed by generations of immigrants and their children. Secondly, even today America continues to take in more immigrants than any other country in the world. Many different cultural traditions, ethnic sympathies, national origins, racial groups and religious affiliations make up “the nation”.
Among the Americans there are many who (or whose ancestors) originally came from Africa, Ireland, Germany and so on. But in fact, 94 per cent of all Americans today were born in the United States.
The USA is one of the few countries that has no “official” national language or languages. English is the common language by use, but it is not the national language by law. About 30 million Americans speak a language other than English at home.
