The United States extends across 50 states from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, featuring mountains, plains, deserts, and extensive coastlines.

The United States declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, establishing a constitutional democracy based on individual rights and liberties.

English serves as the primary language across the nation, while numerous immigrant communities maintain their traditions, languages, and customs within American society.
