The United States of America

The United States is the world's fourth largest nation in both area and population. It

consists of 50 states and a " federal district", the site of the capital, Washington D.C.

Like West Germany, the U.S. is a federal republic. In contrast to countries like

Britain - where the head of state (the king or queen) and the head of government

(the prime minister) are two different people - the United States has a president

who is both the head of government and the head of state.

Politically and economically the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world. It is

also the most conspicuous country in the sense that America's fashions and policies,

goods and weapons, executives and soldiers have shaped today's world to a

much greater extent than those of any other nation.
