The United States of America is a federal republic comprising 50 states, one federal district (Washington, D.C.), and multiple overseas territories. It is the third-largest country by area and population, occupying a vast portion of North America, with around 347,275,808 people (2025). As a global superpower, the U.S. holds significant influence in politics, economics, the military, and culture worldwide.
Demographically, the country is ethnically diverse due to centuries of immigration. While population growth has slowed, it remains steady, thanks to rising life expectancy and net migration. Economic disparities persist, especially along racial lines, with long-standing issues of inequality and systemic discrimination.
Economically, the U.S. boasts the world’s largest GDP, surpassing 30,337 billions USD in 2025. Key trade partners include Canada, Mexico, and China. Despite its economic strength, the nation faces internal challenges, including political polarization and debates over immigration, healthcare, gun rights, and social justice. These divisions continue to shape the country’s political and social landscape.
The U.S. remains a global leader, yet its internal complexities reflect an ongoing struggle to balance growth, equity, and unity in an increasingly interconnected world.
