The United States of America is the 4th largest country in the world after Russia, Canada and China. It occupies the central part of the North American continent. Americans are made up from nearly all races and nations. The official language of the state is English.

The United States of America is a federal republic, consisting of 50 states including the states of Alaska and Hawaii and 1 district — Columbia. Its total area (including the District of Columbia) is over 9 mln sq. km. (9,809,155 sq km). The country population is over 250 million people. The states differ in size, popula­tion and economic development. Each state has its own capital. The capital of the USA is Washington. It is situated in the District of Columbia on the banks of the Potomac river and is named after the 1st US Pres­ident — George Washington.

The country borders on Canada in the north and on Mexico in the south. It also has a sea-border with Russia. The country is washed by 3 oceans: The Arctic, the Atlantic and the Pacific. The country has many lakes, including the Great Lakes and many rivers, the long­est of which are the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Columbia, the Rio Grande and some others. On the US territory there are mountains and lowlands. The highest mountains are the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachi, the Cordillera and the Sierra Nevada.

According to the US Consti­tution the powers of the Government are divided into 3 branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative power belongs to the Congress con­sisting of the Senate and the House of Representa­tives. The Senate represents the states while the House of Representatives — the population.
