The USA

I'm pretty sure most people know something about the USA, this big, powerful country in America. So I’m planning to write some fun facts and other things you might didn’t know, but first, here are some basics:

 

·         USA is an abbreviation for United States of America, and the country is located in North America.

·         There’s 50 different states in the USA

·         The capital of the USA is Washington D.C

·         4^th of July is the national day in the USA

·         Official language: English

·         Third biggest country in the world, both areal and population

·         The USA is a republic, which means they have a president. Barack Obama was recently re-elected as president

 

And here are some fun facts:

 

·         In Montana, there’s three times more cattle than people

·         The coastline of Alaska is longer than the rest 49 states put together

·         Manie is the first state to see the sunrise (Manie is located in the upper, right corner of the USA)

·         Manie also makes more toothpicks than any other state

·         The centre of North America is located in South Dakota

·         California grows more food than any other state

·         Boulder in Colorado is the only city in the U.S where you can find a glacier

·         Bagdad in California once had no rain for two years

 

 

So here’s a picture of what I associate with the USA, or the first thing that pops into my head when someone says “the USA”:

Not surprising, the first person I think of in association with the USA, is the president, Barack Obama. That might have something to do with the fact that the election was only a few days ago... Congratulations to Obama, by the way! :)
