The United States of America is a federal constitutional republic comprising over sixty different districts. The country is situated almost entirely in the western hemisphere: its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie in central North America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south; the state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east, and the state of Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. U.S. territories, or insular areas, are scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific. As of the present, it has the third largest population on Earth, and the largest economy on Earth.

It may have been reorganized upon the formation of the United Earth Government into the United Republic of North America.
