The United States of America, popularly called the USA, is a democratic and culturally diverse republic of 310 million people that includes 50 states, and 9.8 million square kilometers of land.

The United States was founded on principles of individual rights, representative democratic government, and equality under the law. Our system of government was constructed to be open to adaptation as times, attitudes, and the needs of the people change. Since the US was founded in 1776, the laws and Constitution have been modified through a largely peaceful democratic process.
